Hi,
My best friend is Priyanka. Once when we were in graduation we had our 1st year exams. Unfortunately Priyanka’s b’day was on 5th March and we had Accounts exam the other day. I dunno y I was so engrossed in the preparation that I called her nearly 11 times on her b’day to ask my queries bt didn’t wish her. Next day I went to her house to pick her up on the way to college. Her mom asked me wat date is today and i was like ohh f*** i m screwed. Finally to make up for wat i did, after the exam i got a sorry card and a b’day cake. I kneeled infront of everyone in the scooty stand and asked sorry!! n we had a blast after dat. She was a sweet heart n we jst hugged 🙂 I will remember this incident for the whole of my life..
awww..thats cuute Pooja!! 😀 and so sweet of her…he he!! 🙂
Tks 🙂 bt i really feel sorry for forgetting her b’day …..
She is Ruchita Nandi Shankar. to tell the truth, it is very difficult to give one particular moment which is memorable coz almost each and every day has been memorable with her… bt the most cherished moment is one when at school, she would sit with my (tiffin) dabba and me with hers eating from it day after day sitting side by side….and then, another moment is one when i saw dat same little girl with whom i grew up get married 🙂
hello ,
my best friend is my Cousin Sister Jaspreet
She is my bestest friend ever, she is a year elder to me, and she got married exactly 15 days after my marriage she always used to say that when I will be going in my DOLI she will not meet or hug me, because she felt that she could not see me going, but at my Baddai she was there all the time and she cried like hell that we kept huggig each other like crazy and sbe both cried so badly… i am the youngest one in my family and i dont have a sis eather… she means a lot to me… and whenever i see that moment in our marriage video,, i start crying… i miss her… so muchhhhhhhh…. 🙂 love her… her nick name is minni … she is the cutest person in my life 🙂
* Bidaai
Lovely giveaway Ratidi!
Firstly congratulations to all of us for this huge fan club in Facebook.
Regarding my best friend-she is my dear sister…and it is really difficult to find out ‘that one’ memorable incident cause there are funny foolish mad things that we do all the years of growing up…but if I have to pick up one memorable incident with my sis that would surely be her Vidaai, I teased her that once you get married I will be very happy as I will have all chocolates but the moment of Vidaai made me realise that the taste of chocolate is bitter when you have it alone….love you di!!! Miss you di!!!
Moderationnnnnn!?
Rashmita….don’;t worry will save 🙂
Thanks Jomol! U r a sweetheart! *puchi*
My best friend is Fiona Tseng. We both met during our college life. Within a short span of time we two became the besties :). The most memorable incident was on the day when she was going abroad. I met her last time in the morning of the day she was leaving India. She permanently migrated to some other continent with her family so i knew that it could be the last time i was meeting her. I met her in front of her home and we both could not say good bye to each other. We hugged each other,smiled and promised to meet each other in future and stay besties forever. Most of the girl’s best friend are diamonds but my best frnd is Fiona 🙂
She is Sobia Aimen… Ma dear stupid frnd… Evrytym wid her is juz wow… Every day spnt wid her is memorable… Bt d spcl moment wid her was vn i was in a sort of prblm in d school widout any mistake of mine… I was cryng alot… She held my hand n said..”dnt wrry evrythng wil b 5n m thr wid u… N dat moment i felt dat so lucky iam hvng such a wonderful frnd in ma lyf…
My best friend <3 PRITI <3 and I met when we were in Class 3. Within days, our friendship turned into "best friendship". We used to sit beside each other in the classroom, study together, always be on the same team in sports periods, and spend the whole of lunch break walking around in the school campus together. In fact, we used to be so engrossed while talking that we used to reach the school gate, lost in our conversation, only to be reminded by the angry guard to go back, because he always assumed we wanted to run away from school. 😛
I remember, we once had a big fight, and I was so upset that I didn't have lunch that day. We didn't talk to each other all day, and went back home. Next day, Priti wasn't in school. I got worried, and went up to her home after school to check on her. She was lying on the bed, in fever. She had seen me not having lunch, and she had skipped all meals too, and fallen sick. It was only when she saw me that she had food. We hugged and cried, and promised never to fight again.
A year later, I moved to a different school, but still, our year long friendship survived. I used to write letters to her and send them through common friends. She would reply the same way. There were months when we couldn't speak to each other, but still, we were the best of friends.
We are 20 years old now, and we are still best friends. We don't meet often – sometimes only once a year, but the bond I have with her is something that can never break. :')
awww that is soo sweet!!
My best friend is Atrayee Dev. She is a gem that i have and more than a just a friend to me. We have shared so many moments each other, but our best moment is from our school days, once we both bunked our maths classes and went to eat golgappas and our principal saw us. We both were so scared and spilled the golgappas onto each other and hid ourselves behind the tree. Somehow, we escaped and didnt went to school for 3 days and d reason we gave-“stomach pain” we still can’t stop giggling thinking about that incidents. Due to further studies, we haven’t met for 5 years but the bonding between us has got stronger.

Hi 🙂 Am a silent reader of this blog for many weeks till now. 🙂 I am not an active member..(publicly) .. ..so i am sure there is no possibility win this giveaway anyway 🙂 But let me share 🙂
I’am in college and entering my final year next month. In my first year, we had a short film competition . So it was all guys team participating and we were the only girls team. 🙁 So , we faced a lot of teasing and mocking , as you can imagine :sigh: On one of our days of shoot.. we needed to take a shoot from top angle… so am being the tall and mischievous one D: … i offered to shoot(the video) from standing on the slab… (i went to the terrace… used the support of the nearby mango tree…and climbed down to the slab) 😀 .. when the shot was done and after i completed the recording… i slipped and fell flat and broke my leg. I had fracture. Not quiet serious. But serious enough to not walk for few days. :/ I asked my friends to submit the film. They said they wont. Our film was incomplete. They tried to convince the seniors and postpone the event the next month. They dint budge. But the entire 1st years dint submit short-films. So the seniors gave in 🙂 Its not a friend. Its my friends 🙂 People whom i dont even know , came forward to help me. That determines who you are, i thought 🙂
Save me from moderation 🙁
my best friend has always been my lil sister.. although we have spent our childhood fighting nd pulling each others hair.. but she has always been supportive for me.. the recent incident includes d tym wen i was abt to get married to a guy later realizing dat d guy was a total jerk and only wanted a huge dowry.. unfortunately my parents were ok vd their demands.. i cried my eyes out coz i nvr wanted my parents to spend so much money for my marraige.. here is wen my sister came to my rescue and acted like a jhansi ki rani helping me break dis rishta.. my parents were apprehensive abt breaking since ol our relatives knew abt it by den..

sounds corny but I will have to say that my best friend today is my husband. I am today what I am because of all my experiences and if today if someone accepts me exactly that way i am and i can count on anyone in my life it has to be him. Past 10 years have been a roller coaster ride and he has been there at every moment right by my side in my best times and my worst and i know if it isnt for him my life would be so incomplete. without sounding selfish i went through a rough period few years ago and this guy was just there by my side (even my parents werent aware) and i know i have come out without a scratch becos of his support..
Awwwwwwwwww Aru…..wish you both loads of happiness and togetherness 🙂
Thanks Jomol..thats really sweet of you..
thats so sweet Aru… i hope your husband reads this… xoxo 🙂
very sweet …wish i find someone who can be my best friend and in thick n thin too 🙂
My best friend is Akshata.. During school days, we were hardly on talking terms.. The first time i had my periods, I was totally upset. I went and hid in an empty classroom, not having the guts to face anyone.. My skirt was totally stained with blood, n i did not have any clue what my next step should be.. Akshata saw my plight, and being a total stranger, came and hugged me hard.. She asked me to wait there.. She went to her gym locker, and got me her spare skirt, and few tampons.. A virtual stranger was giving me her skirt, when I was in such a problem! I was totally dumbstruck.. Then she called for an auto, n dropped me home.. Since then, we are best friends.. Its been nearly 11 years now, but I dont remember a single time when we fought or were at loggerheads.. She says i’m her pillar of strength.. And for me, she is my sunshine when i’m down.. I dont know what i would do without her.. I’ve lost touch with most of my other friends.. But when she is there for me, i dont feel the need for anybody else…..
I make a lot of friends but very few close and best friends. The ones that I make are for keeps and for life. Right now, I only have two people with whom I share everything that happens every day of my life, even mundane things like weather and that I sneakily rode the bike without a licence. I interact with them on a daily basis and speak with them almost on an hourly basis. They immediately find out through my voice if something is wrong at my end and give me that much-needed pep talk. What more do you expect from close friends/best friends and I feel they are always there when I need them 🙂 I guess you all know I am talking about Rati and Sanjeevji…..thanks a lot Rati and Sanjeevji for being there for me………maine ek nail polish maanga tha….aapne puri nail polish ki dookkaan mere ghar par laga di….:jaiho:
Awwww….
Rati is busy saying ‘Omg Omg!’ after reading this so I’m replying on her behalf. 😛
The feeling is mutual Jomol ji..There have been days when we were disappointed or frustrated because of something on the blog and you cheered us up. It is amazing that both of us share our day-to-day lives with you and I’m sure you can even tell when Rati and I have fought. 😛
Waise nail polish ka ek solution hai mere paas- giveaway kar dijiye 😛 😛 😛
Kaun sa nail polisha….kaisa nail paalish….mooze koosh bhi yaad nahin aa raha….:| 😐
Fikar not Jomol ji, I have the url of your nail paints post… main abhi aapko yaad dilata hoon 😀
MOoze koosh bhi yaad nahin aa raha daaactir saaheb……what is url.??…United Railways Limited…??? he he….
URL = Unlimited Rental of Lacquer…. from Jomol J 😛 😛
Mast…This is superb!! Kudos to the friendship 😎
hihihihi Jomol~~ 😀 😀 😀

My best friend is Nidhi Singh, we know each other from last 20 years. We studied in the same class in school and collage. We never used to hide things from each other and we always stood for each other. In collage if some guy will tease her I used to go and fight with that guy, and she used to do the same for me.
When we were in 11th std, one of the guy in our college was disturbing Nidhi alot, So we decided to teach him a lesson. I went to him and asked him to stay away from her, he did not took me seriously and made fun of me and my friend. I got really angry and slapped him infront of the whole college. All my friends told me to go and say sorry to him, as he was some big shot’s son. But Nidhi stood by me, and said whatever happens we both will face it together.After this that guy tried irritating me many times, It increased to such extent that even our families came to know about it. But I and nidhi stood strong together, we tackled the situation very well. we took help of our teachers and showed him that he was wrong.
Now when we think of that incident and laugh, but 10 years back it was the most tensed period for us. 🙂
Today I and Nidhi are married but our bond is still as sweet and strong as it was in our childhood years.
Its abt RIPU who used to come at my place and study. All thru our final year he used to take my notes & i used to teach him… ONLY to realize, after the exams, that he has scored more than me !!!
best friend comment bad mein karti hu.i just need to win thi giveaway.mene ajj tak giveaway nahe jeta!uhu uhu
Rauni……this is emosanal atyachaarrrrrrr….hehe
My best friend is my sister and she is Aiswarya Gopinath. She is 2 years younger to me and wen she was in tenth and I was in twelfth. Both of were preparing sincerely for our board exams. We used to wake up by 4 am and sit outside the house on the portico to study in fresh air. One day it was around 4 30 am we heard a noise of boots like someone walking. First I noticed but dint care much then my sister noticed she dint care either later both of us heard it well. We had our dog left loose with us. 3 of us stared and ran into the house woke up dad. when he came the sound disappeared so he went to bed. Again we heard it.. He came over and we waited to hear it again.. Finally it was a huge frog that got into my brother’s shoe it was hopping the shoe moved.. We had a hearty laugh..
Lollll this was fun 😛
ha ha ha ha..that was cuute and indeed funny!! he he… 😀 😀
ya
How could I not enter this giveaway? My best friend is Zabeena and we’ve been friends for nearly 20 years. We met in college hostel and initially I didnt like her much, since I’m rather focused in life and I thought (mistakenly) that she was very frivolous, an air-head. She on the other hand thought I was the serious, boring type. We hung out together because we had mutual friends, but we didnt really like each other. Then one fine day there was no one else from our clique in hostel and we were forced to be alone together. The bond grew over music, as we like the same music and we would like in bed, sharing the headphones of her walkman, listening to my roxette tape over and over. But we really bonded over “the incident of the shaking bus”. We were studying in a strict catholic convent environment in an age where most topics were taboo. One day we happened to be coming back from dinner and we passed by the place where the college bus was parked. as we passed by, we noticed it was shaking violently, rocking rhythmically. We looked at each other and burst out laughing, because the same thought went through both our minds – that someone was having a good time in there. In that instant she realised I had a naughty streak and I understood that she was highly quickwitted and humorous. We’ve been the best of friends since then and we know every single dirty dark secret in each others’ lives. We’ve dealt with motherhood, in law stuff, financial issues, career stuff. Every year when she comes on holiday, we have an absolute blast – and whats more, our kids have an absolute blast. So much so that we wonder who the original friends are. And we’ve also planned to spend our old age together, having a blast, travelling, eating out – neither of us want to burden our kids, and we’re pretty sure, statistically speaking at least, that we are sadly going to outlive our partners. The last 2 years, the both of us have had to deal with a lot of personal trauma – in eerily similar ways – and it has just strengthened our bond. If we loved each other before, now we respect each other beyond belief.
Sorry for such a long note but I am so happy that I have been able to say something about Zab as I call her. She literally means the world to me!
20 Years! You are very lucky Shai 🙂
Shai……….what an interesting friendship….the shaking bus ……ha ha…….engine problem arinno….he he….
We still wonder!
Sutanuka, my best friend, philosopher and guide. We have been the best of friends from the time we met each other. Its not like we have things in common, but somehow we became inseparable. We did have had our shares of good as well as bad phases in our friendship. We still do have cold wars and hot wars between us, but at the end of the day we know we can’t stay angry with each other. Like everybody, me too have lots and lots of memorable moments but the moments which instantly came up to my mind after reading the title was my 18th birthday. I was away from my family and was with my friend and her family holidaying. Till now that was the best surprise birthday party I’ve had. Her family didn’t made me feel my family’s absence. They took that extra bit of care so that I don’t regret being with them and not with my family on that big day. That day I realised that apart from being her best friend I was also her part of family. Thank you Suto( thats how i call her) for being a part of my small world.
my bes friend is my mum.we r like bff.its very difficult to write about a particulr memorable moment.bt it was when i faced my 1st break up in my lf.the boy,whom i loved was very rude and told me that our relation was a fake one.coz im not beautiful nd nt like his type and blah blah…I was really upset nd dpressed.one day i was cryng badly and my mum was lyng beside me.suddenly i asked her “Main bohot buri hu na ma?” and she just huggd me and told me that”na sona!meri beti to buri ho hi nai sakti,bus dekhneka nazar chahiye”bt i was cryng nd cryng.then she told me that”ekdin aisa ayega jab ek ladhkeki ankhon me tu subse khubsurat hogi aur wo teri ankhon me sabse handsme,vagwan sabki jori banakar vejta hai” and i was like “Just love u maa”
we suffered a lot of difficulties in our life,Coz my dad is no more.But still she will always b my best friend.
This is really touching. hats off
Sayantanee…..hugs…..very touching
Huggsss Sayantanee!
touch wood….tht ws beautiful……
bestie is hubs (though sometimes he is beast-y). after 4.5 years of marriage preceded by 2 years of friendship ,its the friendship part that is sustaining us and the most precious part of our relationship.
anni, some memorable incident please. 🙂
My best friend is Abhishek:).I call him my mirror friend.A mirror shows us the truth..and thats what exactly he do each time..There are so many memorable moments that i spent with him…and the one that is closest to my heart…I was going to the dentist for some dental procedure and the dentist told me not to eat anything hard with the front tooth…thanks to my mood, i wanted to eat Pizza…and i was craving…i just had to eat..I told him..”Doc toh bolta hai kuch hard mat khao bt mujhe pizza khane ka mann kar rha hai..he told me”hmm doc ne mana kiya hai toh rehne de..dont eat, fir kabhi chalenge”.I had no other option but to say ‘Okay’…I was wondering ..to my surprise the person who never said ‘NO’ to anything is consoling me and saying not to eat…I still pacified myself that for my own good, he is doing this…5 mins later..he pinged me saying”I have some bank work..will you accompany me?”..i said ‘Okay’….and he took me to Pizza Hut…since i could not eat anything hard with my front tooth, he cut the pizza into small small pieces..which i could easily eat…and i was like ‘Awwww..thank you so much’…and he said ‘tu kissi bhi cheez ke liye sad mat hua kar, jab tak mai saath hun, keep smiling.’….
And i have to admit the fact that he is one person who has changed my life and for the better…He has always been the support whenever i felt low…He is not a best friend ..he is my bestest friend , my mirror friend…
I don know whether i will win this giveaway or not but i enjoyed sharing one of the most memorable and sweetest experience of my life…
awww..thats suuper cuuute Meenakshi!! 😀 😀
double awwwwwww!!!!!!!!!
thanks Cali and Divya:)
Jomol-rescue my comment..moderation
my best friend’s name is neha. we have been friends since 6th grade and although we have not seen much of each other since we finished school, we still stay in touch via Facebook and phone.
we had so much fun together in our school days that it’s difficult to tag any one incident as ‘memorable’. we were very naughty back then. once,when were in 11th grade, i went to her place for a sleep-over and we took out her mom’s car after midnight, when her parents had slept off, and drove around the city. we picked a couple of more friends (who managed to sneak out of their own houses) and just randomly drove off to a beach some 20km out of the city! we sat at the desolated beach and chatted for a couple of hours and finally decided to get back home ;-). On the way back some drunk guys on a motorbike tried to chase us which really scared us! haha…in the morning’ her mother was very curious about the car’s fuel level dropping down to very low! we had to feign ignorance, but we didn’t dare to indulge in such risky antics again.
*sigh* i miss those days 🙂
jomoo- help, moderation!
Shai rescuing ….:)
Awww I love these questions on IMBB so much!
My best friend is a guy. He had broken up with his girl when I met him n we became the best friends ever, n still are… He is the only one whom I can talk to abt anything n everything under the sun.
He tells me stuff like, “What happened to ur hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” and “Don’t act like such a GIRL”.. N I love it that we can be frank with each other.
When I think abt him, its not a moment but a sentence he said to me once, long ago after a huge fight, that comes to mind… “Ramya… When I am with u, I can be myself.” I think that sentence defines our friendship.. We are ourselves when we are with each other.. And thats what makes us best friends 🙂
I had often felt lonely as a kid since I have no siblings.. But now, I don’t feel that I need any 🙂
Hi,
Anuradha Sultane and I met each other on the first day of college. Pretty soon we were inseparable [despite the fact that her husband was in the same college as us :)]. As far as attitudes go, we were Laurel and Hardy 🙂 . She was the serious sensible one and I was always the crazy one (read not so sensible). At one point her husband began considering me serious competition :).
Even to this day I am unsure why she chose to hang out with silly me. Maybe I got lucky, maybe God knew I needed an anchor to keep me steady. We shared plenty of pleasant memories together but the one that comes to my mind first was the night before my exam. I’ve always been terrible with numbers and the night before my statistics exam, not only did another close friend get into a nasty fight with me, but my friend cum teacher bailed out on me due to a petty issue. I had tons to study and no help. I could not think of a possible way to pass the exam. All I could do was cry continuously thinking that I was going to fail the paper and since I had never failed till date, it felt real bad. It was still 2 a.m. and I was trying to study (while not crying) that she came back to sleep after studying all day. She has no idea of what had happened. After I told her the same, she sat up for the next 2 hours trying to teach me all she could even though she was beat. She never once complained or gave me the I-told-you-so.
The next day, I passed the paper (miraculously) and got the second highest score. Would it have been possible without her? I doubt it, I’d probably fainted before the paper, had she not appeared. This was just one of the incidents in my long list. I could go on forever. Instead, cheers to the best friend in the world, without whom, I’d have long been lost. Distance can never be a barrier to us :).
hi since its all about sharing memorable experiences with your best friend i am going to share NOT 1 but 2 incidents :)HER NAME IS “YASMIN” after school we tried a lot to get into same colleges , but as fate had it we got admission in different college , i was sad , but then since both our colleges were good , we took it as a positive thing and got busy with our college life .because of the time constraint we started seeing other less but made a deal to meet once every 2 or 3 months , and since my college was located at lajpat nagar she used to come over and meet me , and we would hang out at l.n market with lunch at 3 c’s and loads of shopping 🙂 but at 1 point of time i got really busy with studies and stuff and did not see her for 4 complete months and to add to that due to commonwealth games my father decided to take us to our home town 🙁 we finally met after 5 months , i was happy , we had lunch yet again at 3 c’s (an Indian non veg combo) , she was joyous seeing me , and gifted me with a cuff that day (my first) and that’s how my fascination for cuffs started 😉 went to isckon temple ( and i really love and respect the fact , being a muslim , she has nothing against my religion and respects it in the same manner as i do ) , clicked pictures (WISH I COULD SHARE IT , BUT M TOO SHY FOR THAT) and just as we were about to leave !!! i realized something , BANG I HAD LOST MY MOBILE PHONE :(i was sad and said this to her in a fun way : i wish your cell phone gets lost in the same manner (the day when i met her after so many days ) 😀
later we met after 4 months as i had some work at chandni chowk , and delhi people might know how much crowded the c . c metro station is , and BANG THIS TIME HER CELL PHONE (A COSTLY 1) GETS STOLEN 😀 i was all teasing and laughing at her , however we called at that no. and got in contact with the “chor” , but he was a useless 1 at that , and knowing that he wont be returning the cell i abused him , literally !!!!!!! how dare he get his dirty hands into my friends pocket !!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrr 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 (RATI , I HOPE I HAVE USED APPROPRIATE SMILIES THIS TIME :D) SO THIS IS HOW HER CELL PHONE ALSO GOT STOLEN IN THE SAME MANNER 🙂
n now the sad part , after graduating from college my father really wanted me to give CAT , and so i obliged , i didn’t tell this to her , because she really wanted to pursue higher studies right after graduation but i wanted to drop for a year , i didn’t call her but msd her about it , a week later she calls me all sad , and told me she’s dropping 4 a year for cat , and then starting crying right away , i knew it was all because of me and that it was a big deal for her, i convinced her and said “NOW , I KNOW YOU TRULY ARE MY BEST FRIEND, and i will always be there for you no matter what , we will study with full concentration and will definitely get good scores 😉 ” AND WE DID ” 😉
we have been best friends since 9th standard , i still laugh at incidents when out accounts teacher (ms shail ) used to say to us : YEH ZANZEER TOH KABHI TOOTNE WALI NAHI HAI ;p , instead that zanzeer is stronger than ever , i still smile thinking how she used to feed me with momos in the market when my both hands had mehndi , or how i would control my laughter when the mehndi wala wud hit on me while applying it and she would tease me making silly faces , how we shared our platter on farewell dinner , or how we used to bunk our morning school assembly in the girls toilet 😀 , how we bunked school on 23rd march for watching NAMASTE LONDON , FIRST DAY , FIRST SHOW @ PVR SAKET , and how while coming out of the theater , we got scared seeing the news cameras and ran back to the theater:)
I STILL HAVE A BEAD BRACELET SHE GIFTED ME IN 11TH CLASS , JUST COZ SHE FELL FOR THE TURQUOISE AND WHITE COMBO WHICH ARE MY FAV COLORS 😉
YASMIN !!!!!!!! YOU ARE INDEED MY BEST FRIEND AND THANK YOU FOR BEING 1 🙂 WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR 8 YEARS 😉 LOOKING FORWARD TO A LIFE TIME OF TRUE AND MEMORABLE FRIENDSHIP 😉

Hi,
I have 2 bestest friends..Aanchal and Nimisha…one i met in the starting of my college,and the other was my boss…i have shared beautiful moments with both of them,while Nimisha being the elder one,keeps pampering me,if we are shopping in a mall,what ever i touch,she buys me,i have told her numerous times not to do so..but she dosnt listen..even if she is low on cash,she never lets me pay..
and Aanchal-she stayed with me when i was getting married,the moment i will never forget – is the journey from the salon to the venue,she was there sitting next to me in the car and i was so stressed,that started weeping,and my lens came out,,she being a great friend,kept popping back the lens in my eyes as i couldnt see properly in the car..i dont know i was touched and felt that she will love me in what ever form i will be…no matter what!!!!I think thats the beauty of being friends…no pretence 🙂
and i missed the funniest part , we always used to be to together with each other , be it going to canteen , washing our face in the middle of the class , going the loo , standing behind each other during morning assembly , that people started doubting we were ………… U GET THE IDEA ;p
My best friend is Asma
We met each other when we were in class 10th and simply bonded well. We stayed together for just 2 years after which I moved to another place and she moved ahead with her plans. We were still in touch with each other through emails and phone. We met again at Bangalore and this was the time I could really feel how much genuine our friendship had become in all 10 years of span, despite all the distance and our busy life style with its ups and downs.
I was going through a tough phase of my life, when I’d left my previous job, gone against my parents wishes regarding their choice of guy for my marriage and I’ve fallen in love with a guy who was of different religion and from a family my parents were never fond off. During my months of curfew at home, the only person I could confide my heart to, who I knew would support me was Asma. After spending 6 months at home struggling with all the problems, I finally decided to leave for good, and who would come to my rescue? – Asma of course. She got my interview scheduled with a company and helped me get back into a good job after 6 months of gap in my professional career, that too at the times after recession.
She also helped my then boyfriend (now hubby) in getting settled at Bangalore. We spent another two years, struggling and trying to make our parents agree, but to no positive results. Things and family relationships kept on getting bitter day by day, until me and hubby decided to get married on our own. We hardly knew many people at Bangalore, who we could ask to help in our registered wedding. Most of our good friends had already left, rest all we knew just professionally or as acquaintances. Again my best friend and her brother helped us in that and now I really feel like I owe my those two years to her. I simply can never forget that time, those two years of sheer despair, worry and tons of problems faced, yet she stayed by my side every time, simply letting me feel in awe of this amazing thing we call – Friendship! 🙂
I got tears in my eyes while writing this..Thanks for this awesome giveaway..sometimes such things make you cherish people and life much more..even when you least expect anything to happen. Thank you so much Rati and Sanjeev for holding this giveaway.. 🙂 🙂 🙂

We went on our activa..stopped at gol gappa stall..filled our tummies with them..:D then went to showroom of UCB and V-MART,tried so many clothes there..now that was real fun,when you try so many tops and don’t have intention of buying them..and guy over there keeps saying ‘madam aapke size ka mil jaaega’..:D

My Best friend forever is Somen..He is not my childhood friend..Within a very short span of time we became close friends..He is the one whom I can rely upon..The moments I can never forget is during my final year’s college fest few months back..We enjoyed a lot..We sang together and danced together..
Well the most funny and memorable moment was the day when we had our final year project submission..My speech was not at all ready..I just relied upon him..An hour before the exam I came to college to prepare my speech.It was so funny…He made me remember each line just like my mom used to help me remember things in childhood..And I was enjoying it…Finally after 40 minutes,he made me prepared for our project submission exam.
It’s so nice to read all the friendship stories … In todays time when we are more into verual friends then the real one, seeing so many friendship stories feels so good 🙂
My best Friend is Sanghamitra and we have been friends for 14 years now,,,,,(since the tym we were in class 3 🙂 we’ve had tons of ‘special moments’ ….and i could write a book about them. But one incident that stands out in my memory is of when her parents had to go to their native place after her Grandfather passed away. We were in Class 12th and our boards were near, so she didnt go. So I spent the night at her place(she also used to be my neighbour back then). We were suppossed to to some ‘group study’…but failed miserably at that 😛 we ended up discussing all kinds of stuff ….including our secret crush-something we had never discussed with anyone…we ended up laughing our heads off and falling asleep at 2 am after talking about everything on earth. It was the best ‘payjama party’ EVER and she she still tells me that I am the ‘2am friend that everyone dies to have :)’ I love her :* (and now I miss her soooo much…we are working in different cities and hardly catch up maybe once a year 🙁 )
WHY MODERATION??? 🙁
Aha! Many many congos for the 20,000 fans, I am one of them! And thx for the question. More than the giveaway, I am interested in answering the question. And Neha Singh, this is for you.
There are countless incidents I can cite here but two of them come promptly to my mind.
1. In the third yr of college, I had to arrange my internship. The company manager who had promised an industrial training cancelled it at the last moment. I just had a week’s time to arrange for it. While most of my friends were already on their way to their respective trainings, Neha, who was a student of different stream in a different college in a different city offered her help. She suggested I should directly try out in companies. Then a shy girl, I couldn’t gather the courage and she said she would take a day off to come with me. She did. We both walked for hours together on the roads of GGN under the scorching sun in the month of May, entering almost every company and speaking to the receptionist to allow us to meet the HR manager. Initial 4 companies didn’t allow us to talk to the HR. Finally a company manager spoke to us and gave me a reference. With his help, Neha’s support and my determination, I got the internship in ONIDA, Noida. Best thing is even after walking for hours on empty roads in unknown directions, she did not complain even once about the trouble.
Who would take up this task to get tanned in the sun at the age of 21, for a friend you meet once in a year?
2. I needed some money to repay for a small stupidity that I had done in college time and I couldn’t dare to ask my parents. Neha was a hostler in Delhi. I hadn’t met her in a year but I knew she would help me out. I directly landed at her hostel and my sweetest, benevolent friend shelled out half of her monthly pocket money. I asked her I could repay it only by the end of the month and how would she manage with half of the money and she replied, ‘not a prob, will manage. Your need is urgent. Mine are just extra expenses’. I hugged her and left with moist eyes!
Ahem ahem.. guys.. even I have also been a lovely friend to her. Gifted her a flight ticket when I desperately wanted to meet her and she couldn’t afford the travel. Nursed her very well when she broke her back. But still I think I can never do as much as she has done for me.
She has made me a better person. So, Neha you are the best! Love you honey. 15 years on and our bond is only getting stronger!
that is soo sweet surabhi …….especially that nursing is so touching 🙂
***nursing part 😉
Yeah Anshu.. she broke her back and couldn’t move. I helped her in taking to the toilet, bathroom, cooking for her and making her bed. 15 days later she had to travel and dropping her at the railway station was a deal as we didn’t have a car and the road was bumpy. So, she sat on my lap and I dropped her at the seat in the train. 😀
But the best part about my friend is that she has taught me the real meaning of friendship – doing things without any expectation.
Thats really so so sweet Surabhi….thanks for sharing here!! 🙂
awww… this is really sweet. 🙂 🙂 shows how much you guys care for each other.
Gosh! I know someone who did the same for another friend…when she broke her hip and couldnt move – took her to the loo etc.
Oh wow! Congrats on the 20000+ followers guys 🙂 I have also become such a devoted follower.
How can i not share things about my best friends. Yes i actually have 4 best friends from college ( Maurish, Kimsi, Ena, Nitin ) and 3 from school. But in this comment I ll share my memories about my 4 college besties.
When we first went to college, Maurish was the only friend i had there. Although i had known Kimsi from school, but i never really related to her as a friend. Slowly and steadily as time passed and i got to know about all of them more, we started hanging out together and sharing parties and all. Then came our training time, and we were all together and used to have fun everyday. People say that once you live together with someone, you actually know how they are and do fight many times. But i am so proud to say that we have not had a single fight ( Touchwood ), although all of us come from different households and backgrounds.
If i were to discuss only 1 memory, it would be unfair to all the other ones. We have shared so much of time together thats its almost impossible to describe only a few things. Few of the most prominent memories i ll share with you guys. Our class used to sit in a very defined pattern, boys on one side and girls on the other. But after we guys came back from the first training, we thought do hell with this seating arrangement and the 5 of us used to sit away from the entire class, packed together in a single row. Every teacher also knew of how strong a bond we had. I am so proud to say that we have been each other’s strong support ever since then.
The most memorable thing would be the last day of college. We were all feeling low seeing all those years end. I was actually surprised to see that Kimsi and Ena made a beautiful card for all of us. Each card had a picture collage containing pictures of all of us, and a blank page having 4 empty spaces. We all wrote in each other’s cards as a remembrance of the last day and how our friendship has been. Those cards are so precious to me and i know one day when I ll be old, I ll read what my friends say about me and see that picture and smile 🙂 After writing all of us went to the Gurudwara and took the Lord’s blessing for the life ahead and for our friendship. It was sad to see college end, but in the end it was all worth it. I made friends for a lifetime.
I dont think I ll ever be able to make as close friends as all of them. I just love you guys. And i know we ll all be with each other always, after all as sung by Spice girls ” Friendship never ends “
why do i end up in moderation so many times 🙁 🙁
During our MBA exams times, I used to study together with my best friend Anshul. It was so much fun and even exam period became a fun and memorable period for us. We used to stay awake late, study and watch movies together. For sometime, I stayed at her place and for some days she stayed at my place.. we used to go out for evening walk and enjoy our free time to the fullest.
I really cherish those days and will always value our friendship..
Don’t worry about moderation ladies… we’re are constantly rescuing your comments here. 🙂

Harman go to gravatar .com and upload a pic of urs 🙂
Oh okie.. Thanks TA :-*
hey nice topic for giveaway! 😀
i was always a very introvert and a loner type of girl and had very few close friends yet couldn’t define anyone as my bestie! it was during a rough phase of my life that i met a guy and we became really fast friends both being very similar in nature and both being in a break-up recovery phase 😀 we have a wonderful connection touchwood and i can proudly say he understands me knows my causes of anger tension and how to dissipate them much more than my parents understand me 🙂 i open up to him very freely and in a very child-like manner and he scolds me in return and dictates me but i love it 😛 he has shared some very intimate memories and moments with me which have brought us closer and closer..but some memories stand out so much more..a sudden shower when we were out me being uncomfortable in wet clothes yet i didn’t say anything to him.he dropped me home all the way to my door understanding me silently..i fondly remember walking on and on with him on a big bridge in the heart of the city me scampering like a 4 year old and him rushing to catch up and admonish me in case i got run over 😛 there have been innumerable moments in theatres where being nored of the movie we had started chatting and laughing about the silly things in the movie while other people scowled at us which made us laugh stupidly all the more! these are moments of pure fun childishness friendship care which has made me happier and stronger as a person 🙂 today this guy is my boyfriend but love being aside its always our true friendship which rescues us in moments of distress and fights and makes us make up with each other 🙂 we can discuss frankly on every topic under the sun be stupid with each other be cranky yet that bond is there.a big thank you and a hug for him <3
and even if i don't win here i will always be thankful that i got my chance here to share moments with my bestie !
moderation :'( someone help
A big hello to everyone,
I still remember the time when as kids ,we used to collect colorful glass and metal pieces to create reflections on the walls and on the faces of others to irritate them 😀
This incident is about one fine day when I and my bestie Neha were busy doing the aforesaid work during the recess period. Suddenly the school bell rang and we rushed towards our classrooms and on our way I missed a step and stumbled over the staircase .The thus collected glass pieces were still in my fist when I fell and due to the impact they cut through my skin and I started bleeding profusely.Seeing this,Neha,without wasting a moment, rushed to the Principal’s to arrange for the first aid and they bandaged my palm.
Now when we returned to our classroom ,she hugged me tightly and started crying and on asking the reason,she was like ,”Agar tujhe kuch ho jata toh!”
Frankly speaking I didnt shed a tear when the glass pieces broke through my skin.My wound did not hurt or make me cry as much as it hurt her. She is the one who cried whenever I was hurt.Uplifted my spirit when i was down.She is the one who guided me whenever I went astray.She is more like a guardian angel to me.
I was 6 when she came into my life and today I am 23 and in all these years we have spent a million memorable moments with each other but the aforesaid one was THE moment when I realized that noone can understand and love me more than this darling girl of mine.I feel blessed and privileged to have such a friend in my life .
May god’s blessings be showered upon her !
All thanks to dearest Rati Di for such an awesome ,larger than life blog and giving me the platform to express my gratitude!
so sweet..
Thanku 😀
Although I have had quite a few close friends in my life, I have to say my best friend is my Hubby. I was severely ill immediately after my marriage and was in the ICU for almost 3 months. Three Months of treatment, Pain, physiotherapy and a surgery later I was out of danger. But recovery was far from near. I had lost 20 kgs of weight. I had lost my beautiful hair. I was weak & still in pain. All this while, the person who stood like a rock besides me was my hubby. In recent times, where we hear stories about husbands & their families burning women for dowry & people divorcing their spouses for frivolous reasons, here was a man who was there for me in my worst times. The most patient guy I had ever seen in my life. Yes, he was sad about my condition, cried when he was alone, but never showed his feelings to anyone including me. He had seen me going from my once pretty looks to the gawky, thin and weak frame. But that didn’t make a difference to him. He loved me. For the person that I was. Not for my physical appearance. Sorry thoda senti ho gaya but I couldnt give a bette example 🙂
awwww.. richa.. so touching..
My best frind is babu (nickname) :). I met him in college. I dont know if it was a crush or love at first sight (if that exists :P) but I liked him a lot. Just after a couple of months, he met with a near-fatal accident. Our college authorities were very strict and my entire hostel was against meeting him in the hospital. They even informed my parents. But we still stood together through thick and thin. There were hundreds of rules that I broke to escape from the hostel and meet him. He recovered sooner than he was expected to. He used to walk all the way to my hostel from his hostel (approx 3 km) with a still-recovering leg because we could not live without meeting each other. Seven years later, I married him. (filmy I know :P) Yes, he is my husband!! Yay!! Isnt love all about frienship and trust?
my best friend is ankita……….
the most memorable moment with her is the one when we were in school and one day i accident6le got slipped from the stairs and was hurt really badly (got three fractures as well) and it was she who came running and took me to the medical room immediately and shouted in the whole school too loudly pleading for help…………
can never forget this particular moment…………
Hi, Its about the most unusal and most closest to my heart. I knew this girl coming to my tution clasees when she was just 3-4 years and I was in standard 4. She was a cute Punjabi girl named Ramandip but with loads of attitude and I kind of never like kids with so much of arrogance and used to stay away from her. She then got admitted to my school and just as I knew her from before so once in a while used to meet her during her L.k.g and u.k.g days. One day when I was in standard 7 and she in class 1, I saw her eating her tiffin alone and I was sitting with two of my frnds. So i gave her company and much to my shock my frnds left and from that day onwards stopped talking to me(till date we dont speak) and me and Rimmi (as i call her) we started sharing tiffins and I got to know her much better that she was tuff from outside but very soft from inside and our Frienship grew. I used to be very protective and she was very possesive about me. Never let me mingle with her frnds..We both used to reach School early so that we can talk.
In our school we had to walk few meters between the 1st and 2nd gate when one fine morning as I got down from my cycle and started walking towards the 2nd gate I saw my name written on the road and not once but 5 times and the 5th one she was still writing. I dont know I somehow lost my temper on her and for the 1st time scolded her as I feared the teacher’s on seeeing this would scold me. Then I went upstairs to keep my bag and when I came down I saw her rubbing my name with her pink soft little hands. I asked “Rimmi what are u doing” She innocently replied “Sakhi di agar naam nahi pocha to Miss aapko Daategi na”. her palms were red. I simply had tears in my eyes and realized that I made a mistake. She did this to please me and I didnt respect her feelings. I simply hugged her. With her I have many incidences which will always be my most cherished moments. Today I 31yrs and a mother. She is a beautiful lady working as a Software Engg with Infosys, but we are still in touch and meet occassionally.
I am writting this not for the sake of giveaway alone but the fact that while I write I relive those beautiful moments.
I miss those days of love and laughter shared together….

moderation???
Hey!
This is a great subject. My bestie is PP. The most memorable incident between us is sharing the times when we both fell in love with our boyfriends, almost at the same time……..sharing those moments…talking about our love, our romance, our life, our plans, helping each other with secret meetings…..we were always there to listen, always there to talk, with happiness, with smiles, with pain and tears, throughout those years!…Nobody knows my secrets that way she does & nobody would preserve those secrets like the way she does 🙂
If you have one true friend, you have more than your share.
My best friend is Sofia. One day while walking on the road I was talking non stop about an incident happened the day before. While I was ranting away walking I dint realize there was a lamp post RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Sofia thought it was going to be hilarious and kept quiet. I kept walking and walked right into it head first.
There was a huge bump on my head and non stop laughter from Sofia. till date we remember about it and cant stop laughing 😀
Lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

love my friends…..<3
haha..!! now i miss my school days
Love this giveaway. Nice topic. 🙂 My best friend is padhu. We had our share of weirdest incidents. one such incident that brought us closer was, we both bunked college and went out for a movie on a particularly rainy day in chennai. Most of the subways and roads were either closed/filled with water or inaccessible. We were in exceptionally crazy mood that day and went for a movie in a multiplex located almost 25 kms away from college. (Royapettah). Whilst returning. There was a HUGE Traffic. Vehicles were moving inch by inch and my friend, being a guy didn’t have any issues reaching home late but i would be screwed at home if i didn’t come on time. we started from royapettah at 6 in the evening and it took us 2 hours to get cross half the way. Meanwhile, i came back to my senses as the craziness subsided and realized the mess i was in. I started crying. The traffic reached its peak and there was no possible way to reach my home in one hour. My friend, a perfect gentleman he is, took my hand, consoled me and promised to take me home safe. You know what he did.? He parked his bike (a new one) in the open road, made me wear his rain coat and took me home by “walk”. The walk took us one and half hours and when i reached home i realized that i had lost hell a lot of calories by the walk and gained the love of my life. 🙂 🙂
and Sorry guys.. i forgot to congratulate.. WISH YOU AND IMBB THE BEST… 🙂 🙂 and to the one who selected the topic, a big THANK YOU. Your topic made me relax and think about the wonderful days amidst the work… Now i am fully recharged 🙂
Hi! My best friend is Madhu. We have been besties for ten long years and we share a very special bond. One incident I remember occurred when we were way back in school. We were cycling our way home and it started drizzling. i didn’t carry my raincoat that day. Inspite of me refusing Madhu gave me her raincoat and said “you better wear mine or else you catch cold”, she was getting drenched but didn’t mind it. I was so touched. I guess friends are God’s gifts. And she is definitely one… 🙂
My mom’s my best friend..My world!!!.. She has been with me through thick and thin..I have had a lot of lovely cosy moments with her..But there is one moment which I can never forget..I have always been very close to my mom…so after I got married it was very difficult to even think about living without her.. But as they say everybody changes with time…The same happened with me…I used to speak to her almost daily initially, but later whenever she would call, I would say’ Ma I’m just too busy with kitchen work n all, so I’ll call u later’. Most of the times I used to forget calling her back..whereas she used to wait eagerly for my calls..After about 5 months, I went to my mother’s place for my first rakhi..In the afternoon both of us were chitchatting..She then said ‘Beta you know what…pehle Maa (my nani) roz call karti thi…and I used to be too busy with work…so would not call her back most of the times…dusron ka gussa bhi unpe nikalti thi..and she used to silently listen to me…bina kuch bole..tab unki importance kabhi samjhihi nahi…but now when i want to talk to her…I cant because she is no longer with me (my nani maa expired 4 months after my marriage due to cancer)’..I then realized how do we take things for granted..I was taking my mom granted..I dint want to commit the same mistake which she did…That day on wards howsoever busy I am..I make it a point to call her once a day..even if for a minute..My mum now calls me her “Maa”..and shares everything that she did with her mum.It is rightly said by someone ‘God cannot be everywhere, so he sent angels known as MOM’. Love you Ma!!
I discovered my best friend in our engg college. Initially I did not like him. Met him only in the second year. But later on we became college-famous best of buddies. We use love spending time with each other and with our friends group. Finally when we reached final year and faced the fear of separation we decided to seal our friendship forever with marriage (yes :P)
Since then life has been a series of incidents, each having its importance in its own way. The most recent one I would like to mention is – winning IMBB Fashion contest.
He was always there to support me since the idea of participating came in my mind and I enjoyed each moment right from day 1 till the D-day. After all, best friend is all yours in everything. Be it enjoying, nagging, demanding, fighting then understanding (vicious circle for all friends / couples :P) but ultimately loving, irrespective of any situation. Cheers to friendship!!!
Nostalgia carried me away and I missed congratulating you guys!! Congrats on crossing 20k fans. Here’s wishing you tons of luck for IMBB Rati and Sanjeevji for your movie 😉
Thank you Tara… it’s kind of strange you know, reading all these experiences one forgets the prizes… aur mujhe lagta hai ham logon ki watt lagne wali hai winners select karne mein 🙁
Of course, it is pretty understandable Sanjeevji. I don’t know how you guys would do (kudos to u both for that) but I think we all trust your judgement. So fikar not & enjoy reading the words from hearts of all <3
Sanjeevji,Good luck with declaring the results!
OMG thats so awesome Ta 🙂 no one can be a better life partner than your best friend
Yeah Harman, I feel blessed for that. Thanks! 🙂
Hmmm…. 🙂 hope both of you had fun in clicking contest photos 🙂
Oh yeah Sanjeevji, I toh had, not sure about him LOL 😀 😀 Just kidding! I think we both had a great experience, all thanks to you guys for the opportunity 🙂
Hello, Thanks for the giveaway.
My best friend is my mom. I call her mama, and every moment I share with her is a memorable one, the love, the little fights, the weekend shopping, the gossip, the bed time stories and many more… 🙂
Congrats.. My best friend is Meera.. she was with me in college.. after college, studies and marriage we started to meet each other very rarely. In 2007 I was realized I have hypothyroidism and was facing difficulty in conceiving. I was devastated and took a negative approach to the whole thing. I decided this is the end of the world and stopped taking medicine against hypothyroidism. I don’t know from where Meera popped in one day without her family and told me she wanted to see a movie. Meera normally wears specs or contact lens.. but that day she had avoided both. I found it strange but we went for the movie. On the way and through out the movie she kept on complaining that she could not see properly and asked about the visuals that appeared on the screen. I felt irritated and asked her to wear her specs.. to which she replied..If you can avoid medication to control hypothyroidism then I can also avoid specs.. and like you crib and complaint to all.. I am also doing the same.. Meera taught me a great lesson that day. I started my medication once again and now I am blessed with tow lovely twins… Friends understand your pain and take them away even without making you realize about them.
congrats rati di for crossing 20k fans…..hope u soon will cross 50 as well….my best friend i met him in a get together of my 12th class mates…well at first we didnt talk much i used to get really irritated with him….but later we really bonded and now there is nothing that we dont know abt each other…all the time i spent with him is unforgettable and most memorable when i accepted hima as the love of my life (ya he proposed)……it was a gr8 moment i still remember the look in his eyes when i said yes and the way he hugged me and kissed me….i will never forget that till i stop breathing….

my best friend is Kanuj. I met him during my internship days at Batra Hospital, Delhi, and within a matter of days, we bonded so very well, that all other people started thought we already knew each other. we used to travel back home together, go for movies, eat chaat behind the hospital while being caught by the HOD one day, and so one. One day, I casually told him that I wanted a fish-tank with 2 golden fish for my room. On my last day of internship at the hospital while he was dropping me home,a s usual, he took me to a shop in the nearby market. i kept asking me where he was taking me, trusting him all the time, and he did not tell me anything.the car stopped by at an aquarium shop, and i almost cried, for the fact that he remembered even mu tiniest of wishes. he then bought me an aquarium and 2 gold fish. then came the time of going back home. when i got down from his car, he had tears in his eyes, and we couldn’t speak. we just hugged each other and cried, coz we knew we would not be able to meet daily from the next day…he was the first guy in my life to have cried for me, for real, and with all his heart. time passed by, and our friendship got better and better with each passing day, until one day, suddenly, his girlfrind objected to our friendship…. and now, we don’t even talk. I have lost the company and support of my best friend only because of his jealous girlfriend. I stopped talking to him for the sake of his love, and to prove the fact ‘friend ke liye kuch bhi’….
I am not writing this to win anything here, but I wanna tell all girls who read this, that YES, a girl and a guy can be best friends, without being romantically involved, and there is nothing wrong with it. if your BF has a female best friend, accept it…he’ll respect you all the more, i can guarantee this!
To Kanuj, with all my love….I miss you in my life, and you’ll be my best friend forever…. :-*
Halo to all..
Ah my soul sister..my best friend has to be Rahiba..
Why…now I can name many ways in which we treat each other that way..but the connection we have is wonderful!
On 2 occasions in college..saree day and traditional day..we ended up wearing almost similar shades and dresses!!and everyone thought we had pre-decided which we had not!!It proved that we loved each other dil se 😀
I even have snaps to prove..will put them up if I win 🙂
I have a friend Avishek, being a very friendly person I really have many friends ans some of them are very very close. I don’t how much i have done for them, but just after seeing this post I only remembered his name, abhishek. He is a great friend of mine and we know each other since we were in since 9th. And the most memorable thing I can think of now is- I wear specs and it’s a must for me at least in the night. One day in the college, accidentally my specs broke and I was like helpless as it was already late enough for me to meet any trouble on the road without having my specs. I didn’t feel like anybody present there would be willing to help me reach my home. Still I proposed atleast to help me board a bus to my home. None said no, but made me understand citing different excuses. I called abhi.
My college was in the north part and his was in the south part of the city. I asked him if he could take me to my home. He came to take me and I reached home safely that day. It’s true that I might not be too much unsafe without anyone’s help(which I understood later) but i was afraid for sure.
This memory always makes me feel guilty that I never could have done anything like this for him,had he not made me realize what friendship stands for. He always says that- he believes that friendship is to be by your friends’ side when they are in trouble,not only during their joyous moments.
my best friend is priyank. He and i met on a social networking site and started chatting regularly. We were in 12th std then and one day we exchanged phone numbers. We started talking on the phone daily and shared everything with each other. We had never seen each other, yet there seemed so much closeness in us. When our 12th board exams started, on the day of the chemistry exam, my exam went very bad. He called me after coming home and i was crying and told him everything. He comforted me and talked to me for 1 and half hr even though the very next day we had our physics exam, he motivated me and told me to be confident and prepare for the other exams. He said that he believed in me, and so should i. Eventually we met and became the best of friends. He was there for me when i needed him the most and it has been almost 4 yrs and he understands me better than myself. He is the bestest friend i could ever ask for and now he is my bf…….
My best friend is Bijuru De..we were in the same school and it was only in class 8 that I met her.It was initially just studies that we talked to each other but later we became bestest friends.Even though we were always talking in school we talked over phone for hours for studies and all the necessary unnecessary things about life.There was not a single thing that we did not know about each other.Apart from all this we two were a huge fan of a male cartoon and such were our craze that all our friends thought that we have fallen for the same guy!Then we passed school and entered into college.We talked and met then too!We purchased cell just to have contacts each other.But then I don’t know what happened the thread between us weakened.The calls msgs and meetings finally came to an end.It was my birthday that I expected she would call but the ph never rang.I cried that night.A lot.From then I lost touch with her and it was recently that I met her in Facebook.I was totally elated but then a hint of anger came out and I told her innumerable things that it was her fault she broke the friendship.But after a lot of rona dhona we patched up.That was the most memorable day as for the fun part there are uncountable.I got my best pal back.She is my best and my closest and my only friend now.As when we were not together I could not make friends with any one.
So, there is this very sexy and smart friend of mine named Ramya! She has been my frnd since our first year of graduation, and we have had our share of ups and downs in our friendship, which I am sure everyone does, yet we stuck along and we are still as good together as ever.
Talking of one incident, I get reminded of those night outs at her place which were meant to be utilized for studying, but they only turned to be filled with loads of masti when her mom and dad used to be away from home. One friday night, when her parents were away for a wedding, Ramya and me were at her place and turned into kids. My friend had a craze for tumbling monkeys game. So, we started playing tumbling monkeys, ranting random stuff, finishing packets and packets of chips and coke, and this went on the whole night. It didn’t end there. It was morning and we did not want to sleep. So, we put on her favourite movie and started watching it till both of us dozed off on the sofa!
One memorable night, with my super cool friend, I had! 🙂
My best friend is Swati. We have been best friends for the last 18 yrs…The most memorable incident that happened with us was when we had just given our 10th Boards exams in 2002. The results were out and since v dint have an internet connection at our home so we went to school to check our results. After checking our results we were in a celebratory mood coz we had both scored above 90% 🙂 In those days the movie “Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi” was released and because of the hype created by that Sharara song we really wanted to see the movie. But we were not allowed to go places very far from our homes without our parents. The movie was only playing at Regal in CP and it was some 15 kms from our place.Thats very far according to our parents. V cudn’t resist n decided to go for the movie. But wat to tell our parents?? We told them that v were goin to watch “badhaai ho badhaai”- a dud movie starring Anil kapoor released at the same time as “Mere yaar ki shaadi” as it was playing at a theater nearby.. With some trepidation we hailed an auto to CP and watched the movie and had lunch at wimpy’s ;p It was such fun watching the movie with her especially coz were forbidden to go out with friends. It gave us such a sense of freedom that v regularly started goin out, sometimes by telling d truth n sometimes by hiding it from the parents …To this day it is our little secret.
I have many many friends and 2 best friends but one soul buddy.. My Mom.
W can talk on and on for hours. We both can shop till we drop. We can catch up back to back movies. We both can rustle up great meals in no time. So what If she is my Mom, she is my best buddy cum guide as well as my pillar of strength, a pillow for my tears and all ears for my secrets.
No one like her!!
wow such great posts.. some friends are family but friends are the family that you can choose… three cheers to IMBB.. Hope everyone remembers their friends reading this and all the happy and sad times we spent together and also patch up friendships… 🙂

The last line is so true… 🙂
Hey Hi Everyone, 🙂
First of all let me start by congratulating the pioneers of IMBB for crossing 20,000 IMBB Facebook fans :),the way you people in IMBB are working am sure there are many more milestones to come :).
So coming back to the topic of best friend and a memorable incident, Though I have many friends the one bestie,confidant my 4am friend that I can count on is my friend from school is AFSER UZMA whom is fondly referred to as Uzzu :-D.We went to school together then got separated in between and then again found each other after 5 years,it seems fate brought as back together :). We always had a ball whenever we got together and together we shared many interesting and memorable incidents.
The one incident which comes to my mind at this point of time is of a mutual online male friend who thought himself to be the Casanova of today’s time :-/.Both me and uzzu wanted to teach him a lesson or two about not messing up with girls :p ,so Uzzu made a fake ID and I introduced her to him as one of my hot friend and obviously he fell for her and arranged a date with her on Valentine’s Day (dunno but guys are so fascinated to have a date on this day :p).He arranged everything for that day from a movie at the mall’s multiplex then for a stroll in the park and dinner blah blah blah.He had the tickets booked in advance and the movie was about to start probably from 12 pm .Uzzu told him that she was having problems coming out that day as her father is at home (that was our plan obviously :p),he kept calling her she delayed it and dis delaying went on till the afternoon and atlast when the movie was about to end she said that “I CAN’T COME TO MEET YOU” and switched off her cell as per my instructions :-D.My poor Casanova friend was left stranded in the mall where every TOM,DICK and HARRY at that day was strolling around with a date.He went back home and called me and said that it was the worst Valentine day ever for him :-D.Me and Uzzu had a good laugh about it(behind his back hehe) ,I know it was cruel 😀 and to this date our Casanova friend don’t know that Uzzu and that hot girl who ditched him are the same and that this evil plan was from my mind .(Hoping he doesn’t read this poor chap :p)
Thanks and regards 🙂
She is Deeja James….. my best friend
Sometimes God gives us a friend who can predict what we are thinking just by looking at our face.. That’s my best friend to me.
But once she couldn’t predict what I was up to. It was the day before her b’day and she knows that I will surprise her some way or other. This time it was a Saturday and I usually leave to my home every Friday evenings. Our homes are at two different places. So week days we are in hostels and weekends we are at homes.
She waved me Bye and told me not to forget to wish at mid nyt. I said ok.
The plan I had in mind was to reach her home before she reached, hide somewhere and give her a big surprise at 12 am with cake and gift. So I told my parents and her parents about this. All agreed to be part of this. She started calling my home at 7 pm to enquire whether I reached safely (it was a practice) and my mom told that I slept as soon as I came because of tiredness (We dint have mobile phones then).
And I was hiding in her home upstairs in a room which was not used by anybody. Her mom got me food, water and all that was needed and made sure the plan works well. So I was in this room waiting for 12 am. As time was getting close, my friend stayed close to the telephone waiting for my call. I came out of the room and could see her waiting for my call. I came down, with cake and gift and still she dint see me. And her mom told her to see who has come to wish you. She turned, saw me……her face had all these expressions 😀 Surprised, happy, angry that she couldn’t guess what I was up to….. we hugged each other. She cut the cake, opened the gift I gave and then we talked the whole nyt till early morning.
I can never forget this incident and many incidents like this which strengthened our relation which is going strong even after 12 years. Love you my best frend.
my best friend was/is/will be sharmishtha.i consider myself as very fortunate to have experienced one of the most fulfilling relationships with her in my lifetime.we were together for almost 6 years.6 years of fun,frolic,love and care for each other.We NEVER EVER fought in those 6 years.At the very outset,i must mention that she is no more with me.She succumbed to brain cancer in 2010 after having fought with it for about a year. and this was important to mention since the memory that im about to recall is in the context of above.
It was her 19th birthday.she was very frail and weak after having gone through the first operation about 2 months prior to her birthday.And she was also in her first stage of losing memory.The day started with a blank stare from her when she opened the door to find me standing at the steps with her favourite cheesecake in hand.Because she was trying hard to remember who this familiar face belonged to.and it broke my heart for the umpteenth time to see the confusion in her eyes.
We spent the entire day together.I kept speaking to her all day trying to evoke all the memories of the fun days gone by.and she just kept smiling,not following a thing i was saying,staring in the air.The only time i saw her smile genuinely was when she tasted the cake.clearly,she hadnt forgotten her favourite cake :)And when i gave her a goodbye hug at the end of the day,something told me,this day would never come again.And i hugged her tight.And so it was just as i had feared.She passed away some 9 months later 🙁
Out of all the happy memories we share,i chose this sad memory of ours because it is very specal in its own way.We never got to celebrate her next birthday ever.maybe thats why i treasure this soo much.her passing away has left a huge void in my life that no one will ever be able to fill in.Not that i would ever let anyone do it.
and this is her birthday month 🙂 if she were alive,she would be turning 22 at the end of this month. I shall love you forever my bestie.
Firstly, congratulations for the 20K FB fans. Yayyy !!
And a giveaway to celebrate, sounds just as awesome. 🙂
My best friend has to be venkat. We met exactly 4 years back in a classroom for our Office training in Mysore. I can’t really say what clicked, infact we spent the 3 month training studying day in and night out to retain our jobs. And then the day of posting came, and we had to leave for different cities, we planned our respective trips to the new places, our careers etc but did not bother to talk about how we might never meet again. 😐
We felt awful on the day of departure, but had to go. We missed each other like crazy, and realized how strong our friendship has grew and promised to stay in touch forever. I made a trip to his place after an year, and he came to my place after another 2 years when we met for just like a day or two. We haven’t met each other personally apart from this but we are the
best of friends.
The best or memorable part I believe is we don’t miss the days we are away, we talk when we meet or on phone like it was yesterday that we spoke. We discuss just anything under the sun, give each other philosophical advises when we fail, or create new philosophies that suit our situations and laugh mindlessly. Inshort, we are the friends who would say ‘Chal daaru peete hain’ to any problem the other faces (I hope you have seen the image doing rounds in FB on this). 😀
We used to pass chits to each other though we used to sit together during training to pass time, I’d write I hope we clear these innumerable tests and get the job, and he’d come up with his on-the-spot thinking and say if we are put in a situation by God, it automatically means we are capable of doing it, and that would erase our tensions.
In these 4 years, I’ve got married, and he has got himself a girlfriend, the frequency of talking might have decreased but not the friendship. We know at the back our heads we are there for each other to find solace or to pass some sarcasm. 😀
Do I post this on FB too and tag my friend ?
I really loved reading every single entry 😀
grt competition Rati 🙂
congrats!!! *happydance*
Right now, we are sharing pictures of our dear plants and discussing them as if we are students of Botany. 😀 And should I post this on Facebook as well to tag my friend ?
As usual, I can’t participate in this contest since I’m not on Facebook anymore but this is such a wonderful post! I love the way everyone is sharing in these comments. I have a habit of falling off the face of this earth sometimes and I get out of touch with people that I am close to. I’ve been reading all these super sweet comments on and off since this morning and it actually made me call up two of my closest friends after weeks of going all dead on them for nearly a month. So, thanks everyone for sharing all this! 🙂
And congratulations to IMBB for 20000+ followers on Facebook. Let’s hope we see a celebratory post for 20000000000000 followers soon enough. 😀 😀 😀
No clearance yet to my poor comment which was rudely thrown into moderation. 🙁
my friend is Rajashree mandal.
two years back, we were freshers in our company and new pass outs from college.. so too much in college mood. our project is on third floor and stairs of the building are at the back end with very few people around that area.So it was our out of the cage area. One day we were returning from cafeteria; as we stepped up to the third floor we realized the handle of the door was broken so we couldn’t go in.. through the peep hole (which is actually as large as a window) we saw there was no one in the corridor.. so very dramatically i yelled “bachao bachao”. it wasn’t loud considering we were in office.. but rajashree stood giggling in one corner. just then somebody opened up and he was staring surprized at me .. The person who opened was wearing a superman t-shirt in its perfect blue color . we both laughed out loud and hurried inside.. we still laugh when we remember it.
This is a lovely contest.. 🙂
Raji Srikanth – I met her when i was in 7th std. We are like the “great minds think alike” people. Often have the same thoughts running in mind. We used to catch up almost weekly once. Now that she’s not in india.. I really miss her… 🙁 🙁
15 years of friendship and we never had a single fight until last year. We were on the way for our friend’s baby shower function. My bike was running out of fuel, so i stopped at the filling station to fill petrol. Mostly she pays for my petrol.. But this time i dint want her to.. So i fought with her in the petrol pump. But she refused to listen to me and she paid. I got angry.. I said am not attending the function, you catch an auto and keep going and i left from the place. I crossed few streets and parked my bike in the corner. I just stood there for some time till my temper was down. Then i took my bike and started for the function, with a dilemma checking out if she’ll still be waiting for me near the fuel station. She was standing where i left her. Under a shady tree, very calmly checking out for me. I was in full swing even after seeing her waiting there. I dint talk even a word to her, on the way and during the function. On the way back, we were like crackpots laughing at every sensible/senseless thing. That point of time i realized, what a stupid thing i did. And i really loved her for trusting that i would return to pick her up. I was happy that incident took place 🙂 🙂 was feeling so proud of having such a friend in life. Till now i dint apologize for it.. 😀 I love you Raji Paapa… Mwaaah.. I remember this incident so well, cause i shouldn’t repeat it again.
Praveen Saravanan – I knew him through a common friend. And now he’s another best of my friends. I meet him very occasionally. So there are no moments i remember.. I fight a lot with him. I have done a similar incident like above even to him. Just that i dint go back to check out. But he waited there trusting i would come back. But i dint.. This guy is always there during my tough times. I wouldn’t tell a word about my prob. But he would call me unexpectedly, like god sent him a message, asking him to call me. He’s the Magic Man in my life.. I love You da….. 🙂 Mwaaah..
my best friend is esha…:) we have a really weird story to share..:P when were in class 4 n 5…..we hated eachother..:) a lot..!! but then one fine day in class 6..our classes got shuffled…..n we landed up together…we were both alone…..:( n no friends..:( we cried a lot..!! well…actually i cried d most..:p ….n i donno over time we came the best of friends….n i think dat year was d happiest year of my life…n brought soo much of happiness..:) we r the craziest people u will actually find on planet earth..:P howevr….we’re not very old now though…we’re just 14..but our interest in makeup bought us even more closer..:) thats why we are daily visiters on IMBB…..:p

Hey guys
Heartiest congratulations on ur success and all the very best for your future…
My besty friend name is Rukhsaar. We became friends in school when we were in class 5.
Were also together in junior college but as faith would have it, got seprated in degree college as we went & took different streams.
She is this tall, skinny girl with long hair whose one pat on my back, makes me go “aaaaahh ruksi, it hurts”.
She is the one who can always make me laugh in any annoying situations.
So this incident took place a month back when I wanted to surprise my boyfriend by visiting his office along with her (btw she is also my bfs best friend and he really adores her).
We are here in Mumbai and had to take a local train to reach there. I hardly travel by the local train and she is a pro.
So we are at the platform in the morning, and the there is so much crowd just waiting to stamp on each other to catch the train.
The train comes, my heart beat increases, ruksi caught my hand and just pulled me before anyone else could get on it. But the crowd obviously had other plans. The women just rushed into the train making me leave ruksis hand… m on the platform ground, ruksi in the train, the train started… I ran… but still not able to get on it… I was so damn scared at that moment… I had no idea what to do next… I tried calling her, but she had left her cell phone with me…
I sat at the platform bench, crying like a baby, suddenly I see her coming towards me. She just came and we hugged each other really tight…
She told me she pulled the chain to stop the train…got off and came to me….
Thats one moment and the best moment I can never ever forget.
Today It’s my birthday and she is in another city… I really miss her 🙁 but she says she will make it up to me 🙂
awww….so sweet of you…such a lovely moment! 🙂
awww…so sweet of you…such a lovely moment !!! 🙂
thanks sharmi
omg……!!! lovely experiences……………………
m still waiting for 1 to happen… 🙂

IMBB! Congratulations for the achievement!! I know this blog will only get bigger and better as the years go by. I wish Rati ji,Sanjeev ji and everyone associated with this blog,many congratulations! We’re all proud to be a part of this blog!As for this giveaway..I feel terribly emotional (like the rest of you..)
This post is dedicated to my two best friends Apurva and Adi and I hope they realize how much I miss them!
Apurva and I ,Well,We weren’t exactly opposites but we never liked each other…She happens to be the bossy types ,in a very harmless way,And I’m under confident and reserved.She is overly emotional, and I’m not.She is caring,almost in a motherly way and I’m more like a child! She happens to also be a grammar nazi ! hehe But we all are sometimes! I wonder why we never had that instant connection.For some reason we were always distant from each other.But one day,a very stupid thing brought us together..Liking the same guy.Haha.It really sounds immature and everything to think of it now,But somehow we really didn’t fight about it like in the movies..When we got through it all,It turned out that we really couldn’t stay without each other! And we became best friends!That , and the fact that both of us loved Guitars and Music made us inseparable.
Adi was always more fun,more likeable,and everyone wanted to hang out with her.She was unaffected by what people said,She did what she felt like,kept her secrets , but she was so Amazing that you couldn’t,simply couldn’t hold a grudge against her for any reason.Her laughter was infectious,and she could make friends with anyone.Nobody hated Adi,And I admired her.I mean,she was so cool and I wish I could be as fearless as Adi!! Somehow we become bench mates and best friends,partners-in-crime!And we shared the common love for a band called “The Rasmus” .We had learnt one of their entire albums by heart (and In order!) and would sing during , before and after lectures. Haha I pity my classmates and teachers!
My best moment was playing on stage with both of them!Haha.If you had asked me then,I would never have believed that my friend Adi would decide to take up the drums! And that too,she had only played for a few months and up came our first gig.And we didn’t have a drummer…and somehow convinced her to play with us! Well,the practices itself were great fun ! With us alternately trying all the instruments and creating a ruckus! And I couldn’t believe it!all three best friends,together ,on stage,with Apurva on the Bass,Me on the Guitar and Adi trying her best to play the drums! Hehe! We didn’t expect great drumming from her in terms of technicality,but we knew we were going to have an awesome time because earlier only the two of us used to be together and Adi would be left behind!So when the day came,I got up on stage realizing that this would be the only time she would play with us (She quit after that..) and played my heart out! Adi struggled,and we all tried to cover up,but it was a memorable performance…I had an amazing time with my besties on stage with me,looking at them and realizing this was something I always wished would have happened and seeing it come true! I knew I would never forget the funny (and some sincere too) cheers that we got,and for one day,at least one day I fulfilled my dream of playing with an all girls band! And that too,girls that I loved and admired this much.The show was brilliant! And Adi,you were amazing!
So ,this is my way of thanking them and telling them things that I never said before.Few days ago ,one of them wrote something like “Do we still have best friends” on facebook…and to that my reply is,You’ll always be my best friend ..Its a contract for life.Even if you don’t see me as often,Even if we share some differences,Friendship makes you do things you would only do for your blood relations.For me,Friends are forever.I never forget my friends,even if some of them may forget me with time.And as for my beat friends ..I ll always be there!Just call me!

my best friend is this girl named surya, yes that is her name, we grew up like chaddi buddies literally. we used to play together since we were three, then her parents shifted to another building, we started school (in two different schools), we almost never met each other till we reached 5th std. she was put in another division of my school, and got teased as surya tubelight, it was so bad that she literally begged her mom to get her division changed.
once her division was changed and we were in the same class, there was no looking back. we became the most talkative and naughty children in the class, we shared everything from conjunctivitis to favourite actors.
since we were notorious kids, it was not long before we were made to sit in two different corners of the class, there had been something surya had done that totally irritated our class teacher. so she punished her to stand through the school day for the whole day , even through lunch and warned the whole class that if we talk to her she would make whoever spoke to her stand as well. in 10 minutes flat, i was the second girl standing in another corner of the class, caught for miming to my best friend. slowly slowly more and more students kept getting punished for talking to either of us. in half a day, the whole class was standing. our annoying monitor made sure no one got to sit for a minute at all. but finally she too needed to borrow something and when she spoke to someone she too had to punish herself since the whole class started howling at her.
when our teacher came she was wild , but understood what had happened. we had not planned this as a class, but it happened. it all started with knowing without realizing that we knew, that just because your friend is in trouble and being with him/her may land you in bigger trouble it doesnt mean anything between you two should change. and if you show that faith in your friend and your self, the whole world changes for you.
YEAR 1992: Sasmit Chatterjee…a little boy of class II, adorably welcomed me when I got enrolled into a new school.
Gradually, we became best of friends…We used to be very naughty child, always pulling others’ legs…making the teacher angry all the more as we love playing pranks rather than studing monotonous subjects. In class VII, I had to leave the school as my papa was transferred elsewhere. At that time, in 1997 we didn’t have cell phones, even land phones are rare at small towns. Writing letters were the only means. As time passed, we lost contact with each other because they also had to shift someplace else.
YEAR 2008, JUNE: We had come back to our hometown at last. I had just appeared my masters in that year…and having lonely days at home, simply enjoying the long holidays without much worries. Orkut became a great way to pass my time. I was browsing, and found a certain Sasmit Chatterjee. I was not sure if it was my ‘once- best friend’. I never used send request to any strangers…so I remain aloof from sending him friend request, instead just scrapped him ‘Hii’. No reply comes from him. Eventually I forgot about the incident and went for a vacation to my aunt’s. After 10 days on my returning home, I found a reply from him : ‘Hello’ .
gradually we came to know each other via Orkut…but he mentioned if he was the same guy. Being an egoist, I also kept mum.
NOVEMBER ( same year ): I was chatting with him…it had become quite an addiction for us to chat all the while. One day, while chatting with him, I didn’t know what happened, but suddenly there was no answer from his side. That was so unusual. After 25 minutes or so…he replied me again…but some abusive languages were coming instead of his usual sweet replies. We never used to flirt…and now it was a real insult for me. Somehow, it just occur to me that it wasn’t him. We never exchanged our cell numbers…so, couldn’t call him also. I was feeling helpless. I noticed that his usual DP had been changed into a murky, dirty image. His profile had been hacked.
The next day…he was somehow able to get back his original profile…he was really disturbed as not only to me, such vulgar words had been also delivered to other profiles also. I tried to console him…and we ended up in exchanging phone numbers. But don’t know why he never called me. In the age of internet and mobiles…we used to exchange music CDs via courier in spite of living near by.
YEAR 2009, NOVEMBER: My family was searching hubby for me..each day a new drama. I was just fed up. We thought to meet at last as I was terribly in bad mood those days. We met. It was kinda shock to me…I didn’t believe my eyes. I had never seen his photos before ( though I asked at least a thousand times to upload his photo, and he had made excuse always in someway or other ). He is my lost friend only with greenish black hint of beard and mustache on his face..the same eyes and a dazzling smile!!!!!!!!! I was mad…but lost my voice even to scream in joy!! He thought to give me surprise at our first meeting…and was waiting for the this great day all along.
Again, we had recreated the same old vibe.
DECEMBER ( same year ): My family had chosen a boy for me…I hated arranged marriage all my life. I was crying at our usual meeting spot, just in front of our old school gate which is at the bank of river. I told him that he should not get used to my company as after my marriage he would suffer a lot. He was not crying…but I saw some glint of tears in his eyes. Suddenly he told me ” If I marry you…then? You wouldn’t be so miserable…na? ”
I don’t understand even today…why I became so angry at that time. It was like an insult to me again. I got up and left the spot. He tried hard..called me all the while, thinking that it might have been an indecent proposal. I had not been checking my e-mails even. After 5 or 6 days, I checked my mails.
It read : ” It was not that your being miserable made me to propose…I was always in love with my best friend ever. But you know me well..I’m not a good orator, neither a romantic. A great idiot, as I always have been…may be I proposed you in a wrong time in wrong way. But believe me, it was always you, you and you. I have spend my great times with you as best friend…won’t you give me a chance to have such great times as being not-so-a-perfect hubby?
There is something so beautiful about you. I think that’s why I love you.
you have always given me something to think about, to laugh about, to cry about, to rant about. You let me know that I’m actually living and I have a reason to be smiling at all the silly things I do.
Dear best friend,
Please don’t leave. Ever…
Sincerely,
A very devoted me. ”
YEAR 2012, JUNE: We are getting married next year. Hope everything goes on well….
awww…this is the cutest story ever…like a bollywood movie… I think Sharmi shud win… 🙂
🙂 Thank you, Fatima…

My best friend is Priyanka Sharma. We met during our grad days. Coming from very different backgrounds we didnt really interact much for the first couple of months. Then one fateful dance event later we grouped up (her, me and a guy) and performed at the univ fest. After that both of us become rivals as we both got involved with the same guy. Ya the one in our dance group. After much jealousy and back biting fate brought us together one strange day where we sat down and talked about our issues and found that the guy was playin both of us. From that point we dumped the guy and became friends and soon besties. Our class was stumped! Lol and 13 yrs down the line they still dont believe we are best friends and keep in regular contact.
We have gone through much in our individual lives but always turn to each other as a sounding board. She is no longer my friend but my sister. No matter how depressed I am or feelin sorry for myself I just need to pick up the phone and call her. We will be rollin on the floor laughin within mins. She often tells me that we shud move in together and grow old together 🙂 Sound idea since I know I can depend on her.
Here is to you my friend! Looking forward to growing old with u. Love u always!! <3
Oh! Not to mention we both were dating a guy called Sunny at same point in our lives (no not the same guy 😛 We were in diff cities and we checked the pics. Cant be to careful with our luck). And both of the turned out to be complete losers. How is tht for a friendship bond 😉
My best friend is my mother – Sarmistha Banerjee. I have many memorable and special moments with my mother. I will describe here one such special moment with her. It was the last day of our school and our final results were to be declared on that day. Although I knew that I had given my exams well, but still I was feeling little bit nervous. My mother consoled me and gave me the courage that I will surely do well in my results. Then when the results were declared, I was very happy to hear that I had stood first in my school. All the teachers and friends told me to say something on the stage about my success. I went to the stage but did not know what to say. Then I looked at my mother and at once I knew what I have to say. I told that I was very happy to get the prize but it was all because of my mother. If she had not taught me and not guided me in the right path, I would have been no where. I told that I wanted to dedicate my prize to my mother. Everyone clapped their hands. I saw tears in my mother’s eyes – the tears of joy. She came to the stage and hugged me. This is my most memorable and special moment with my mother (my best friend) in my life.
My best friend is Sulagna. We are poles apart but we are the bestest friends in the world.
So my most memorable moment with my bestie dates back to school. We were in the same section and used to sit together; while I was this bratty loud child, she was my total opposite. A shy, quiet student, she was the teachers’ pet. Being the brat obviously I used to get punished a lot, which consisted of standing in a corner of the room. It was then that she did the sweetest thing; seeing me standing alone, she too talked or did something which would get her punishd, which meant I woulnt be standing alone, she, too, would stand there with me. Getting punished was no big deal to me but for her it was not something easy ’cause she was very reserved. Now when I think of those moments, I realise how selfless and self sacrificing that was coming from a mere child. That was about 12 years ago.
Many a friends have come and gone but our friendship still holds true.
Congrats on so many fans… I am not surprised why 🙂
My Best friend’s name is Sejal.
We met each other on our first day in school. We were friends for nearly 20 years. Sejal is a darling and mature beyond her years. We had an envious bonding. There are so many memories of her that I can’t think of one memorable incident but I will summarize try and summarize one incident which is very dear to my heart.
Many years back, when I was in Medical school, I contracted a rare condition and I slipped into coma for a while. Post my illness, Sejal was my only support. She even shifted to a place near my house so that she could be with me 24/7. Till date, if there is anyone who has boosted that level of confidence in me, it was her. She even put off her wedding preparations to be with me. Soon I recovered and she went to Rajasthan to finish her shopping. On her return, she and her family met with a terrible accident and that rendered her legs useless and she wasn’t able to walk. She was hospitalized for while. Soon after her fiancé, realized that she would not be able to walk for life, he decided to break up with her. All this happened so suddenly that we all were worried how she will take the news because he fiancé was her boyfriend of many years and she was horribly attached to him. But surprisingly she took it well. One day, I was sitting with her in the hospital and gently touched upon this topic and asked her how she is feeling. So this was her answer, she said he fiancé claimed to love her under all circumstances but if he couldn’t be with her now, its better off that he goes. I was in tears when she said this. I admire her inner courage and I am so proud to have known her. Unfortunately for us, she couldn’t survive the infection and she had lost too much blood during the accident and she died soon after.
This incident has left a mark on me and although she is not with me, she has enriched my life in many ways. I still miss her when I feel then need to be with a friend. I haven’t really gotten so close to any person after her. She will always remain my best friend.
hallo myself nisha my best friend is yogita i wasin b.com final year my exam to be held on 8 but i thouught it was on 9th unfortunately i forgot my exam date my exam wasto be held at 2 pm suddelnly my freiend yogita called me at 2 pm why u have not reached for ur exam i m shocked that that i forgot my exam date i satreted ready and finanlly reached at 2:30 pm toand i have given my exam —i cannt forgot this moment
My best friend Pooja and I were about to qualify for the 400m nationals. We were both running our final round together along with 6 other girls. After a couple of minutes into the race, I heard someone wildly screaming out my name. I didn’t turn around at first because I thought it was probably somebody trying to distract me and since I was running first I couldn’t even see the other girls.
The screaming started again and this time I turned around to see Pooja desperately calling me with her hands gesturing me to stop. She was running last that day and I waited for her (most people go *facepalm* here :p). I watched all the other girls run past me and completed the race holding hands with my bff 😀 <3 No regrets about never getting to compete in the nationals, this memory is priceless to me! 🙂
i called her NILA (NILAVAZHAGI) we were together up to our tenth grade .
we made some decision at that age
1. we wont commit suicide at any cost (which was very helpful for me to survive a lot latter)
2. we will be together always and even will get married in the same house
3.we love each other for our eternity
4. and she always want my friendship for herself so i said i will not call anyone as my friend until she accepts .
we never thought that we would be separated
one day i joined my 11th std in a new school.
first day i entered the class and sat in the first bench , i felt uneasy so i turned to my side , i found some one was sitting in nila’s place . she was not there .
i realized we were separated and i miss her and my eyes were with tears , i couldn’t bear the pain.
she changed her house so i didn’t had her contact no.
no contact for years
but when ever i go out my eyes search for her , when ever i see some one resembling her i run near them and get disappointed .
i always esquire for her . and one day my brother saw her in road , so he went back and spoke to her
he gave me surprise with my most wanted gift for this life.
yes i met her after 5 years in my home.
i was in shock and cant describe it in words ( THIS IS MY BEST MOMENT BUT AM SORRY I CANT FIND WORD TO EXPRESS) – SHE WAS AN FAIRY TO MY EYES
she said she too had my kind of feeling and she asked me about my NEW friends .i said i never had any friend like i said her , she cried and said you haven’t changed.and asked me to have lot of FRIENDS……………
but due to some reason we could not be in contact , but i know i will always love her like she do
my best friend is ruchika dewan…. we’ve been togther since class prep but became best friends only in class VI.
although there have been many moments which i can recall…. but this is a moment when i was in class VIII. Me and ruchika has a major fight and were on no talking terms. Ruchika was on leave for a week but i, despite being concerned, neither did call her or asked anyone about her. after a week when she came back, i saw her hand in a cast… God! she had a fracture… shucks…! and to top it all, when she was going down for the lunch break, someone pushed her and she fell… AAH! i saw tears in her eyes because of the pain… I was standing at an arms distance from her and suddenly, i started crying because i saw her in pain… Seeing me crying, ruchika too could not wait… she came to me and said, “Kya hua?” i told her that i can’t see her in pain… she looked at me and said, “theek hai hum baat nahin kar rahe, but atleast don’t cry… i know u r also feeling the pain..” that was the last time we ever went into a no talking mode….
today, even after all these years, we may have our disapprovals and fight, but communication continues….
Love u ruchu!
I am full of smiles and aaw while reading all the comments. So I thought of writing one of the moment that I cherished.
My best friend is Prasanthi, my own Prasanthi Sreekumar.
I met her at my class on the first day of our 6th std. She was new to our school, And I was studying there since L.K.G. And I was whole lot of a mess. I never cared about dressing, the way I speak, the way I look. I had boy cut hair style which looked like crap , I cant even look at the old pics now. its terrible 😐 .Now I realize I looked like an idiot then (11 year old 😀 ).
She was like a fresh breath on the class. She came from a village , and proudly she carried the essence of village with her. She dresses neatly, had long hair which she managed with oil , she had a smiling face which attracted everyone at class and above everything she had a smell of her own , very similar to smell of sandal (she still have it 🙂 ).
From the very first sight I developed a sense of hatred towards her. But everybody else in the class liked her, which really made me mad. She chose to sit on our bench , thankfully not next to me. I was against accommodating her in our bench, but nobody listened to me. My other friends were busy praising her earrings , bangles and other accessories. Now I was filled with a nameless emotion, may be jealousy. I didn’t have any accessories, not even an earring because in my family I was the only girl and brought up among boys. I knew Sachin’s DOB, but never knew how to braid my hair. I never bothered about any girlie things then.
She was friendly with everyone, but I chose not to speak with her for no reason. In any case if we had eye contacts, I suddenly concentrate on my notebook or some worthless stuffs. After 2 or 3 days , she came to me. She got my palms on her hand.(I believe she had some magic in her hands) My hands are always hot, i mean literally hot , and she have a literally ice cold hand.
It sounds stupid, but the sense of that coldness overpowered the heat of hatred and I was blown away with her friendly smile. How on earth can any person hate this greatest girl alive..
That day started our journey of friendship We never sat next to each other, never we could spend time with each other at class due to many reasons. But when we get back home, we will talk on phone ( land phone those days ) for two or more hours. If we fight, still we will call each other, and wont talk a word when the other attended the phone. Silence tells us who it is on the other side.Years passed like this. My mom always teased me that we beahve like lovers than friends. She taught me many girlie things, I wanted long hair like her. After that I started to wear earing, bangles… I developed a love towards these things. Only by her influence I used Kajal for the first time in 9th std. I began to buy clothes like girls , think like girls. Now I have a big collection of accessories and some makeup. All of my friends calls me for asking suggestions, advises or some girlie helps. And all this started due to her influence on me. If she was not there , I would have been like a boy with a messy dressing and crappy mouth. She changed me to the core, and I love her for that.
We thought we are inseparable, we made plans for studies and life, we decided we wont marry any one, and let ruin our friendship . We believed we cherished the best friendship that wont be affected ever no matter what hurricane comes.
But we seldom know it was our innocence which lead us, not the reality After 10th we were separated.Still we had our phone chats. We planned to do our graduation studies together, But she hated Engineering ( maths particularly ) and I loved Maths. I went for Engineering, and she chose physics. Our calls reduced, but not the intimacy.Life separated us and changed us. Now we both have marriage plans, and I work in a s/w firm, she in a bank. We rarely meet and even the phone calls have reduced to special occasions. Whenever we call, we ends up in tears. I have a lot of grt friends, special friends ; but nothing can replace the innocent friendship we had. Her place in my life is permanent. Nothing or nobody can replace it ever… After all she made me a girl 🙂
Prasanthi, you are in my life forever… 🙂 .. I really miss you..
She is not in facebook, or else I would have tagged her in FB…
Thank you IMBB, for letting me express my feelings… Love you all … 🙂
hey rati di……firstly congrats!!!
my ‘bestestestestest’ friend ever : Sue Ann Mathew
i hav known her since wat…..like my third grade, so fer like the past 17 – 18 yrs. we hav giggled together, cried together, laughed at eachother, hit puberty together, checked out boys together, fell in love with a couple of em together, fallen out ov love together, won accolades in school together,worked thru problems in our families together………’grew up’ together.
we used to b fiercely protective of eachother, i wud hav been chokin anybody who wud dare make fun of my sue’s name sayin ‘soo soo’ !!!!!!
during pool hours at school, while most of the kids stayed in the shallow side still tryin to float, sue n me wud swim over to the deep end n lie in the water by the edge (sumtimes upside down!) n talk n talk over a range of topics tht knew no boundaries…..
sigh…way too many memories i tell u……but tht one tht neither of us wud ever forget is….well here goes…
we were i think in the 4th or 5th grade, n we had had a “fight”!!!!!! i dont remember wat started it all anymore,but i know tht both of us were angry n jus so mad at eachother, we just wanted to irritate n taunt eachother sumhow, and NOT talkin to eachother wud just not help…..it ws in between 2 classes, as usual we r the class monitors, we were walkin around the class when sue just shoves a table away. it ws not particularly aiming at somebody n it dint hit aybody either….but i jus had to retaliate so i said out loud(oh, the brilliant me!), “it seems like she is Jealous of the tables now”. i know, it dint make any sense but i had to say somethin, hello!! sue looked at me quizzically for a moment (i knew both of us just replayed tht scene in our heads) n then both ov us jus burst out laughin, the sheer silliness of my commnt!
to this day, as we reminisce, she says, “yeah div, jealous of tables, eh!”
we both live continents away, married, but we know tht we r ther fer eachtother now n forever.
PS : ratidi next time put a word limit, or else this is hw ill jus blab!!! sawry!!
Her name is Shafah.. I did my schooling abroad.. Shaf was my classmate for 10 years.. 6 years she sat on my right side.. But all those years v wer frnds, v never realised that we wer BFFs.. We had so many similarities.. Most of the time we ended up doing the same things,ended up in the same detentions, same impositions, same marks.. But i always thought the girl next to her was her best frnd n she thought the same way too.. After our 12th grade, we came back to india n did our entrance coaching in the same instituition.. We shared the same hostel room, joined the beds n slept together, fed each other our breakfast when the other was getting late for class.. In the end, after our coaching classes, when we wer about to leave, we hugged each other.. And it was at that moment in her arms that i realised that il miss her the most of all my friends.. We wer going different ways to pursue our future, we belonged to two entirely different places n we may never meet again.. My eyes filled with tears n when i looked up at her, her eyes wer also full..we went without saying a word.. Later on, on the train back home she msgd me asking y i cried..i replied bak arkng y she cried.. N she replied back sayin ‘bcoz u r my best mate n il miss u alot’..that was the best moment of our frndshp.. It was after 3 years dat v cud meet.. Within dat tym i had finishd graduation.. I did make new frnds in college.. But noone could take the place oe the girl who sat by my right all those years..
well best friends are pretty special part of our lives…my best friend is Tissya…She was my first close friend in school…I’m a bit shy so it took me till class 5 before i made any good friends and she was the most special of them all…and we’ve been perfect ever since then…supporting each other through the problems with family and friends…studying together the whole day for two months before the boards…getting each other out of tough situations with our parents when we’d gone out with our boyfriends and almost got caught!!….making a mess in her room with food all over and cleaning up hurriedly before her parents came back and caught us!…exchanging shoes with her because hers were a bit too uncomfy and were cutting her feet when we went out during the pujas…and accompanying her to her college and sitting like i belong there and enjoying it when her classmates keep wondering who i am but were too scared to ask…it’s been an amazing time with her and there are always situations where i just cant do without her…I hope we are going to remain besties forever 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratz IMBB on having crossed 20,000 FB fans.
Well someone i’ve found in whom I can better myself has to be my best buddy Vivek.
We have been friends for a long time now. We share a similar wavelength of thoughts and we respect each other in our own being. We have had many a memorable moments together but the best has to when Vivek left Kolkata last year in order to pursue higher studies in Pune. He is basically from Assam and so he went to Assam once before he was to leave for Pune. On his return journey to Kolkata he was in contact with me all the while he was in the train. The next morning I called him up I found his no switched off and I wasnt able to contact him that full morning. I knew he had his train for Pune d next day early morning and we were suppossed to meet in the evening. Later I found out his phone was stolen. So since we couldnt contact each other we couldnt meet up. I was upset 🙁 but at nite he logged into FB wishing to find me online and miraculously I was. He took my number and called me up from his cousin’s phone to inform that his train was at 4:00am in the morning and to ask whether I would like to come to see him off. I happily agreed without thinking anything. Kolkata those days was having a bad monsoon and the street I live in those days was completely water lodged and water was till d knee level and un-dino tho mere street me boat chal rahi thi. So baad me I realised that my street was water lodged, That I lived in a Pg and that I had an interview for a job the next day at 10am. Awww how vividly I still remember how I sneaked out of my PG at 1:30am at nite, waiting in knee deep water for him to come to receive me. Finally he came and that too wo cab driver had alot of problem entering my street. Par phir v chalo he came and I hurriedly entered. The next 2hours we were roaming around aimlessly in Howrah station and playing in the rain like small kids do. When his train came and he got ready to leave, I couldnt stop myself from crying. We both cried and the hug we shared was only to fortify our only already strong friendship. And not to forget I grabbed the job next day inspite of my half sleepy groggy eyes. We still share the same relationship though the distance between us is huge. I feel blessed to have a friend like HIM and I would love to keep him for the rest of my life just as he is, MY BEST BUDDY.
My best friend Ekta – there are many memorable moments spent with her but this one in particular showed us both how strong our bond is. It was during our days in college. The placements were going on and even though we were both in the top 3 of the class we were not getting placed in the companies that had visited. One fine day she got selected by a company. I was extremely happy for her yet somewhere in my heart I felt dejected since none of my hard work seemed to be paying off. The day after one company was coming to campus and my friend was there (she was allowed to sit for this company as well) – and before the test began she told me that Shilpa don’t worry – today I have visited the Gurudwara and prayed to Him for you – you will surely get through a good company. And to our surprise I got my first job that day. My friend had gone and prayed for me – and because of our friendship her prayers were answered. Till date I am with that company because I am happy with my first job. We meet very rarely but whenever we do we are the best friends there can ever be!

My best friend is Lakshmi.She is elder to me by a year.We have shared so many personal things and laughed heartily like crazy at good times and cried at bad times.Those wonderful moments of joy when we were together,laughing at nothing and the silly pranks are definitely memorable but the incident that deserves a mention here is different.Once,I was abroad on official basis during which time my mum who was alone at home suffered a massive heart attack and she had nobody to help.very fortunate ,Lakshmi had come to our home at that time,admitted my mum immediately to Apollo Hospital and the doctors suggested immediate bypass surgery.She and her husband had arranged for the surgery taking my mum’s consent and took complete care of her until I came back from abroad.She saved my mum’s life.Iam so grateful to her whole family who supported her in helping my mum,knowing the kind of relationship that I and Lakshmi shared.For all her love,kindness and affection not just for me but for my family too,is she not the one to be regarded as my BEST FRIEND.she is more than that.To me,she means a lot more.I take this as an opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to her and her family.Thanks IMBB for giving me this opportunity.
Hi
My best friend is Srinivas who lives in Hyd. We both was working with Music World at back off i was in Chennai and he was in Hyd. We both are good friends for past 7 yrs.

One fine day we all reached hyd. Next day our family planned to go out. so i told my friend that we going so and so place …. so i asked him to come to railway station to meet.

Really such a wonderful moment in my life….. NEVER and EVER i cant forget this in my life!!
Oooh~ What a sweet giveaway!~ I don’t really want any prize…I just want to brag about my best buddy, Noopur! 😛
We first met when I started lass 7 in my new school. She was the onnly girl of my age, from my school, who lived close to me. We just played games at first, but somewhere along the way, we became inseperable. Unfortunately, she had to leave in Class 10 due to personal troubles. So, we just spent the whole summer vacation together,chatting and whiling away our time. One day, she asked me, “When did we actually become best friends?” After pondering over that question for a whole hour, I was stumped,and so was she! We tried our level best to find an answer,but we just gave up. In the end, we just accepted the fact that our bond was completely ad-libbed or something. 😛 She said our friendship was a complete mystery. She’s super outgoing and a real party animal. And me? Well, I’m completely nuts, crazy creative, and ultra quirky. I’m surprised we’ve lasted this long,really. But then again, they do say that Opposites Attract! 😉
Oops I forgot to add an important it! She has accepted all of me, in ways that even my family cannot,so much so that I think of her as my soul sister. She is my confession booth, my pick-me-up and my pillar of support. Without her, my life ( all 15 1/2 yrs of it) would have piled up on me in a horrid way. I am truly thankful that I have her in my life and I wish that our friendship lasts a lifetime. 🙂

we are four best friends. Ashwathy, Arpita, Surbhi and myself. last year after final exams we went to picnic in a garden where all slides and see saw and all things for small children were there. there was a mini rail too. So we decided to go to mini trail and take a tour. but suddenly Arpita hit upon an idea of enacting the famous seen of DDLJ! so as i am a bit chubby i decided to be the “Hero” and Arpita obviously played “KAjol”. so now our mini train started and we were all in fun mood. Arpita started all her drama and with fully filmy expression. I was completely transformed from PRiyanka to SRK. WE were enjoying everybody’s attention. slowly our mini train took up speed and i was insisting Arpita to increase her pace but our “Kajol” was so engrossed that after a while she realized that she is actually missing the train. So our filmy fun turned into a fearful action. everybody first thought its may be the extension of fun but soon they correctly read our faces and told the driver of that mini toy train to stop. as the train came to a halt Arpita jump in and was staring at our faces and other. Nobody said anything for a while. We all were embarrassed. we again look at each and other and bursts into a loud laughter. Some of they laughed and some were still staring at us with cold eyes. with great difficulty we managed to control ourselves. Now whenever we meet we always recall this and laugh and pull each others leg. we make fun of each other by making same funny facial expression which was make by us in anxiety and fear! This is only one incidence they are more such moments which make me smile whenever i recall them.
PS: recalling the above incidence took away my sense of grammar and there may be some spelling mistakes please omit! I am still smiling and this is making my ears turn red!
well now these silly spelling mistakes are embarrassing me now can i correct them ?

Hi, this is the third time iv participated in IMBB giveaway. Have never won a single contest yet but still, lovvve to participate in it 🙂
My best friend,well her name is Janki Dave. We met on the first day of admission in B.Sc and hit it off instantly..! It was 22nd june, 2006. We became frnds and soon had a huge group. Unfortunaelt due to differences, we had several arguements, which led to fights. But then , patched up soon cuz we knew we wud stand by each other. BSc got over n we again got into the same colg for our masters..! Not because of the colg, but because we were in the merit list of the same colg..! We have always been together, won “best friends” contest twice during colg festivals, took part in dance together. We have oppposite inerests, but i guess dats what keeps ud going..! shes the one who understand my one single glance, whats all in my mind. The whole colg remembers us as soul sisters..! Infact, no one has ever seen us roaming alone in colg 🙂
We complete our 6 years of friendship this year on June 22..(the same date when d winners would be announced..!) 😉 In these 6 yrs, we have learnt a hell lot of things from each other. In fact, this year, we have also started out own brand called “This and That” on facebook 😀
Creativity was the only thing that we had in common..so v thought of giving our friendship a creative twist. Our brand completes its 2 months this 24th for which we have even kept a small launch cum friendship party. So much has been done, so many moments have been spent. It just keeps getting better with time. Thanx IMBB for giving me the opportunity once again for speaking my heart out 🙂
Hi,
To write about my best friend is the most difficult task for me as words are not enough to describe my relationship with her. Diamonds are very precious and are said to be a girls best friends but my friendship with the most precious diamond of my life “Komal Mahajan” is precious to me above everything else in the world. The relationship I share with her is beyond space, beyond distance, beyond time and beyond everything else. She has been the strength of my life, loved me like a mother, cared for me like a sister, supported me like a family, guided me like true mentor. Words and expressions are not required by us to communicate, we can read each other’s hearts. Blood relations are given by god. However, I am blessed to have a relation chosen by me which is so beautiful and precious. She is truly my “Soul Sister”. My love for her grows with each moment. I wish in my every birth I have her as my BEST FRIEND.
To describe a single moment special is not easy because each moment spent with her is very very special to me. Together, where ever we are, no matter how boring the place is, no matter how odd the time is , we can make most of the fun and create the best moments of life. With her time is special and moments are beautiful. This space is not enough to write those moments.
The most recent incident was when I got a very attractive job offer in a company. However, I did not want to stay away from my friend as we had decided that we will be together for life. I didn’t want to break my promise and at same the job opportunity was very lucrative. So, my mind and heart were in dilemma. All my friends and family advised me to make the best of the opportunity but my heart didn’t allow me this. But to my surprise, my friend showed me an offer letter she had got from a company in the same place and she had left her own job just to be with me. This meant we could stay together. My heart was filled with joy and my eyes with tears of extreme happiness. However, later I came to know that my friend had struggled a lot to get the job just to be with me and the job she got was not as good as the one she already had. I tried my best to explain her that she is spoiling her career. But she replied the happiness she got from being with me was much more important to her than anything else in the world. This really means a lot to me and it has further strengthened our bond of friendship and our promise that no matter how circumstances are, no matter how good or bad times are, we shall be friends forever. Our friendship shall pass all the hard test of life. I know life is a very harsh journey but with Komal as friend each day will be joyride.
Regards,
Ansuyia Makroo
First of all i would like to congratulate you.
My best friend’s name is preeti.Most memorable incident with my best friend was when she helped me in my studies.I was in first year of graduation.I was ill so i could not complete my notes and i was not prepared for my exam.But my friend preeti did her best to prepare me for exam.she provides me the notes of all subjects.she even wrote notes for me.I can never forget that moment when my preeti said that dear dont worry about exam,you will do well.I am with you,whenever you need me,i will always be there for you.She asked me not to take stress and also adviced me that if i will take stress it will increase my problems more.She was like my teacher those difficult days.She is so understanding and caring.whenever i had to ask anything related to study,i used to call her and she always helped me without any excuse.I must say she is my true friend.I am so lucky that she is my best friend.I can never forget any moment spent with her.She is more like a sister to me.I share all my secrets,joys and sorrows with her.She is really a very good human being.I think she is the best friend in this world.Her honesty,selflessness,innocence are the qualities that i think are amazing.I can never forget that incident when she helped me whole-heartedly.she spent her precious time for me.I thank God that He gave a loyal friend.My best friend rocks!!!
Around 10 years back, I was best friends with this school classmate, who was very religious and superstitious. He would chant gayatri mantra, hanuman chalisa before exams, on days of eclipse, and on any good or bad occasion. He believed in every small and big omen with all his heart. I on the other hand was a complete non-believer.
One particular day, when we were strolling around the school campus, a black cat crossed our path about 5 feet away. Being the believer he was, he stopped right there and asked me to turn around to walk the other way. I told him I didn’t believe in any of this and shall thus continue walking on my path. He confronted again. I continued to walk towards the crossed path. He requested me. I told him I want to let him know it is BS and will thus walk right through it and still be alive and kicking the next day. I reached very close to the cross line and there was no stopping me. And then, suddenly, I see him run back towards me on the same path and cross that line, right in time, so that he crossed it before I could.
Apparently, the bad omen holds true for only the first person who crosses it and then it gets nullified.
We’ve known each other for 21+ years now, out of our 25 years of life. I think I should call him 🙂
Hi All,
OMG this level of Nostalgia. But before i start my brag my toast to rati di and TG sir for one of the greatest things that has happened to me IMBB. And brace yourselves 20,000 would turn out to be nothing. You might have to hold more such give aways at even more frequent interavals in the future.
So coming to my best friend. I read through every word of all the previous comments and they are such sweet and happy memories. But my eyes are watered coz my best friend is in the past tense. My best friend was a guy called Kasturi Rangan. We were classmates since 6th standard which is a good 14 years older now. Can you imagine enemity at first sight. That’s what happened with us. We studied the remaining 6 years of school life in utter hostility and the fact that he lived in my opposite house for the same period and that our famlies were very friendly didnt help. Our enemity was always very pronounced and feared.
So when i joined my first year at college and didnt find Kasturi Rangan sitting in the bench next to me I am was ecstatic. Then one day during my first year I got a message from an unknown number which said ‘ HI How are you’ and i knew it was him. I am still dumbfound as to how, but i had an instinct that it was him. I replied’ Hi Kasturi, I am fine’. So there started our friendship. We talked and talked and talked. We laughed so much at our years of enemity and how we were still fond of each other even though we pretended otherwise. I also helped him fall in love with his girl and was happy for him with his girl.
Kahani main twist. His girl took offence as he was so fond of me. She called me and told me he loved me and ended her relationship with him. Now came days and days of mourning, but we were so close to each other we never fell in love with each other. (If you can understand what I am saying). Then suddenly his girl came back to him and I was happy for him but i told him for everyone’s good that we should stop talking to each other. God I had the strength to part with the bestest best relationship of my life so that he can be happy with his girl. But guess how it turned out to be. He mistook me to be in love with him and thought i had betrayed him. Well what i wanted happened. We did stop talking to each other, now he is married to his girl and has a baby girl. And i am happily married to my hubby with my cutey son. But what was killed in the process was his trust on my friendship. Someday in the rest of our lives if I see him I will ask him ‘ why did you kill our friendship, we could have let it live even though we never talked’.
Sorry everyone for this saddy sad comment. I am just not able to bury my friendship and wanted to share the bitter sweetness with all of you!
There’s lots of things With which I’m blessed.. My problems have been few, But of all, this one’s the best: To have a friend like you. In times of trouble Friends will say, “Just ask, I’ll help you through it.” But you don’t wait for me to ask.. You just get up and do it. you are one of the best things thats ever happened to me. You are my love , my sister, my best friend and every day that goes by it seems like I discover something new about you to love. It’s incredible to me how one person can make such a big difference in my life. You touch my heart in a way I never knew before. I discover something new about you to love. It’s incredible to me how one person can make such a big difference in my life. LOVE U SAKSHI <3 <3
My Daddy is my best friend.He is the first love of my life .Each and every moment of my life is cherished with the love given by him.From the very beginning when I step into in this world until now after becoming the doctor.The most memorable gift that I received from my dad is his support with me through my rough and tough time…his presence brings smile to my face and his is so special to me…when the world walks out with my failure this is you only who stand by side saying don’t loose hope one day u will succeed and its your faith only that today i am a doctor.thanks Daddy for whatever you have doe to me and for me…..
So many wonderful moments we have spent together,So many wonderful years in all kinds of weather ,thinking of you father bring memories to my mind,wonderful moments will treasure.These you give me sincerely and that’s why my Daddy ,i love you so dearly.
I don’t have one best friend, I have eight. And they have helped me through good, bad, happy, ugly and scary times. They have listened to me whining, cried with me, laughed with me and loved me. I particularly remember a day when I’d lost my phone and purse and was totally broke, and my best friend heard it and told me to come over to his place. He had prepared a room filled with soft music, and candies strewn around the bed and told me to lie down and go to sleep. I was so frustrated and tired and he massaged my forehead while I slept, for 3 hours nearly. 🙂
This happened around 8 years back, but I have a very vivid memory of
that incicent. Jasmine and I are the closest friends. Since the day we
meet we had a unknown bond between us and as time passed it grew
stronger. We were inseparable and dicussed any and everything under
the sky. Am not sure one day we had a heated argument about some issue
and we vowed never to talk to each other. A day went by without a
communication. The next morning at 7 I receive a flower bouquet and a
box of my favorite choclate cake. And the next minute she was there at my doorstep. we
did not speak a word but yet we knew our friendship was special. That
day we talked for hours. Even today after so many years we do fight
and patch up but that special day is stil l etched in my mind. I can
never ever forget that day.

This incident happened recently. My best friend is Sakshi Arora. We are friends since 8th standard and go to the same college now. We recently gave our final year exams. My birthday fell during the exams this time and I was totally bummed out due to this. As we started preparing for exams,days passed and I completely forgot about my birthday. Then Sakshi called me one day and we made plans for an overnight study session at her house. Just before the day I had to go to her house,I had some other commitment and called up to cancel the study session. Sakshi sent me hate mail for a full 1 hour after that…lol! When I realized how much the meeting meant to her,I dropped everything and reached her house to surprise her with a bouquet of roses and her favourite Ice-cream sundae. Then we studied till 11:30 p.m. Then she took a break and at 12:00 a.m. her whole family came into the room with a cake and a gift basket to wish me!!! I had completely forgotten my 21st birthday and she remembered. She had previously called my family to make sure no one reminded me before hand. This was a really special birthday and my most special friendship 🙂
My best friend without any doubt is my mother.. . She is my world… From my 1st day in this earth to my 1st lippi to my 1st prlr visit she was there with me.. Now I’m a mother of a 3 months old baby boy and whenever at night he wakes up I open up my eyes and see a smiling face carrying my baby on her lap and touching me gently asking me to feed him, she is my best friend my “Maa”.. Some yrs ego I was in a state of depression, my mother was there to help me out, and she got anaemia attack due to which she had to admit into a Nursing Home, but she refused to go, only for me. Mine is an inter-caste marriage, though it’s not a big deal now but for some situation it issss a big deal, without my mother it was not possible to marry my dream man, WE both thank her for that… I owe everything to her… She is my true best friend…
(Well Rati, sometime I ask her to read IMBB articles and she like them a lot ;-))
My best friend from school is Tina, a dark complexioned yet beautiful and sweet girl by nature. We are still friends and work in the same company in different cities.We still chat daily on office communicator to catch up with each other. I remember the time when she told me about her decision to get married to her long time boyfriend Amit whom I hadn’t met then. She told me that her parents accepted Amit whole heartedly though he’s a Hindu and she’s a christian, but his parents accepted her half heartedly only with so many demands like she has to convert to hinduism, adopt a hindu name at home,reduce her weight and try to do something to improve her complexion.I was so furious with the guy since he even considered telling his family’s demands when he loved her without considering all these things. He told her that his parents were great since they accepted a girl from another religion so she owes it to them. He told her that his mother was very disappointed that her daughter-in-law is a dark complexioned girl. I started hating the guy for hurting my friend. I started advising her against marrying him and kept on telling that he doesnt deserve her. Anyways she gave in to his demands and married him and i attended their marriage without even smiling at her husband even once. Even now we discuss those things and for sure her in-laws give her taunts and I still keep on telling her that I had advised at the right time to back off and we laugh together….
This contest just freshened the memories of my best friend Anna .Dedicated to my best friend ‘Anna’ who is no more in this world but will always be alive in my memories.
Ten years of memories I will never forget
starting in tenth standard when we met
Laughing, crying, and sharing dreams
Taking chances and going to extremes
talking at late nights
So many laughs and even a couple fights
You were my pillar, standing beside me, strong
Always beside me whenever anything went wrong
The school canteen will forever remind me of you
The memories of our times together can never be erased
The space in my heart for you can never be replaced
I may never have another best friend like you
You’re irreplaceable, unforgettable friend Anna.
I HAVE NOTHING TO WRITE..AND NOTHING TO WIN 🙂
BUT GOT ENDLESS STORIES TO READ HERE…TO ME THATS THE MOST THRILLING PART 🙂
IMBB ROCKS… !
My best friend is PD. We’ve been together in school since class 3 and been with each other through thick n thin. I guess da best memories of all are of days when we sneaked each other out of our house only to meet up with our boyfriends then. The drama, the acting, and the code language we used to ensure our parents never got aclue of anything. 🙂 Sunrise & Sunset is what we called her guy. So one day PD says ” I wish I could see da sun set today (since her mom was around ) so like anyother buddy would do I reached her place and got her out on the pretext of going shoppin. I was to keep a watch around while they met at the icecream Parlor. We had done this so often before that we kinda were too over confident. Little did we know her elder brother and his friends were following us. Oh boy that was a day I still can’t forget. We still get blackmailed for that day. 😉
Hey.. this giveaway? It sounds great. As there are very few things we could say to our friends(I’d be dead emabarassed to do it openly & am sure they would die of chagrin and weird-ness :D)
So. My bestie happens to be a guy. Yes. That has always raised so many eyebrows & believe me, still does. He is my go-to, any-hour, HD person__ Rajat(a.k.a Rajveer) Bhargava.
We despised each other while at school(I hated that weird beard!!), but bonded to the best in college heydays. It’s those times when you see a familiar face in an unknown city, and you go like ”phew!! somebody at least!!”
Rajat’s been my backbone through very gritty as well as nitty times. My blanket, my cushion, my chips, my cola, my boiled rice to my dripping gravy, or be it my punching bag to that shoulder to cry on(with wet complaints later :/). I’d met him during one of the most toughest times of my life. My family had fallen apart, my father left us..my mum devastated.. people knew a lot more than they should have and we were left in abstarctness. Nowhere to turn to, Nobody to rely upon. I was sent away to escape all this, to land in an unknown city. I shut out. I closed the chapters I wrote in my unfinished(still so book, I withdrew from socialising(be it dance or music). I became a recluse. Befriending him was a formality, a lot uncomfortable opening up. A lot was going on. I was wary. But budged at last. From that first iced tea to today’s mocha, we’ve been through it all. He inspired me to write, do reviews, move over the past, ocialise, see and wear colors, like and breathe flowers, enjoy my burgers(& ditch my salads. He’d to bear the brunt too, see :p).
the most memorable ha to be just this june_ my b’day 17/06. 21.. and all by myself. Upset and hurt by that “someone” I shut myself up, turned out of all contacts and curled up to solitude. And that’s when two drenching delivery boys(in rain, duh!) come up to my pg with a huge bouquet & a cake. A moment later an old friend pops in to notify me that Rajat has been waiting by the temple tree(facing my pg) since noon hroughout the rain, and that I must go see him, Infact, it wasn’t just the noon. He’d been there for 11:55pm(16th)- 6:00(17th)am, then 11 am- 2:00 pm and then from 3:00 onwards.. He just wanted to flash that smile. He had even cleaned up of his trademark beard to a shorter ‘stubble’ do. Though, we didn’t end up partying that day due to his back exam the other day, we made it up on the next day.
I don’t remember anybody making such an effort for me apart from my mother, be it even my b’day in the past so many years. He somehow made my estranged dad wish me after 5 yrs!! That was downright a shock(yet special!)
He is like my girl-friend to my fake-it boy-friend(LoL).. he is my “which-blush?” to “this foundation?” or “is this red okay?” buddy to my pizzas and man buddy.. He has the keenest sense to everything and is open to everything new. Though many speculate he’s my ‘hem hem’ man, but hey there’s something much more important than that: Best Buddy.
I’d never been able to say this or write it(I did try..but I tore the sheets) out to him.. He’d go Boonlkers!!! But yeah, maybe through this giveaway .. :))
Oh, btw, he was the one to introduce me to IMBB(through his mum)..
* fingers crossed *
while scrolling down i found such gud memories of u ppl… i thot sharing mine.. hi 🙂 m piyali.. got 2 besties whom i love like hell.. they are kainat and sohan(bff since class 4,i am on 3rd year clg)…

we grabbed our bag, without even looking at him, run towards the wall in the backyard of school,jumped the wall.and went back home,NO NO..WE DIDNT WENT BACK HOME.WE INSTEAD WENT TO THE SHOPPING MART NEARBY. 😛 heheehe.. me kami and sohan are partners in crime… love u guys <3 <3 cheers to our 12years of menance,pagalpanti,fights,love and togetherness 🙂 🙂

Recalling my most memorable incident takes me back down the memory
lane years back…
those days, we were not given any pocket money and every penny uses to
be as precious as a diamond.Whenever i had to ask for some money from
papa for books n all, i felt a bit awkward. Somehow, I was always
worried about my papa’s financial limitations and wanted to share his
burden. I used to share my feelings with one of my few friends whom i
found to be more trustworthy n who also felt the same way…
I remember the day when i had my bday and as usual i din’t want it to be a big bash (to save money), but rather a simple “wishing n sharing sweets” kind of occasion.Even then some friends gifted me Cards, decorative items n some small accessories.And sorry to say I felt that was a sheer wastage on useless stuff.
My best friend knew what i wanted, so he din’t get me any gift…and when everybody left, he hesitantly handed over a cute small yellow colour envelop to me. I looked at him without uttering a word n opened it…there was a small chit on it which read
“I want to take away all ur worries n to see u smile wide..
I wish to take you along on a roller coaster ride..
I wud love to be ur caretaker forever..
Do u think I may do it ever?”
I had no words to say…suddenly i noticed a 500 rupee note peeping out of the envelop and the other side of envelop read “Ye Jo Thode Se Hain Paise, Kharch Tum Par Karoon Kaise”…
My eyes were really moist at such a thoughtful gesture of my friend and i realized how strongly he feels for me 🙂
He indeed touched my heart that day and was able to secure a soft corner too 😉 That best friend of mine is my loving husband now since many years and i’d still kept that note carefully close to my <3 …
Though he has given me many other days to be counted as memorable…but i consider the memories of the day most precious that changed my life for better and filled it with happiness :)) not to forget his name is Amit…
My best friend name is Babita as mine too. We are best we were general friends in 6th and 7th standard. One day we got a bad fight with each other for some reason and that time we were like enemies. When the 7th standard final exams were approaching she came to me and ask for few exam related questions. She could not study due to some bad company. I advise her not to worry we have time. Then we worked hard study day and night and become best friends. 16 years have passed when we fought. Now we are best friends even we have not seen each other for last 5 years due to marriage in different state. But we talk over the phone and share each and everything. We never feel that we are far from each other. I love my friend.
